Big Smoke lyrics

Big smoke, standin' in the morning

Big smoke, pointed at the sky

Big smoke, take away our brother

Lift him up and show us how to fly

Big smoke, louder than the thunder

Big smoke, taller than the storm

Big smoke, rise above these troubles

Lift us up and keep him safe and warm

And I don't know why we ride on the flame

'Cause sometimes we're riding blind

All I know is the future is waiting

Out there for us to find

Big smoke, ten thousand years of building

Big smoke, all the careful plans

Big smoke, pure imagination

Lifted by a billion steady hands

And I don't know why we ride on the flame

'Cause sometimes we're riding blind

All I know is the future is waiting

Out there for us to find

Big smoke, no one says it's easy

Big smoke, more fragile than you seem

Big smoke, carry precious cargo

Show us how to live and how to dream

Big smoke, carry precious cargo

Show us how to live and how to dream
