The song was released for sale earlier this morning, and topped the Australian iTunes charts less than three hours later.
Goodrem debuted the song in an Instagram video one week ago, urging her fans to donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund.

"The extremes that many families are experiencing leaves me with no words. I send all my love and I am praying everyday [sic]."
In the song's lyrics, Goodrem thanks firefighters for their service, and expresses her hope that it will finally rain across bushfire-affected areas.

"I can't stay in silence, hoping this will go / but it won't slow and it won't leave here, today," she sings.

"We walk on our great land breathing in the ashes of our hometown / and it keeps on raging."
