Castaic is Burning

*(Verse 1)*

Oh, Castaic’s hills are burning, flames are rising high,

The Canyon Fire’s a-raging, beneath a smoky sky.

The winds they howl, the embers glow, the night is torn apart,

Evacuations call us now, it’s breaking every heart.

*(Chorus)*

Castaic is burning, oh, the flames they roar,

Flee from Hasley Canyon, leave behind your door.

With the fire on the mountain, and the smoke in the air,

Castaic’s fighting hard tonight, hold on through the scare.

*(Verse 2)*

The choppers hum above us, dropping water down,

Firefighters hold the line, protecting every town.

From Valverde to Romero, the orders come to go,

Pack your life and run tonight, where the safe winds blow.

*(Chorus)*

Castaic is burning, oh, the flames they roar,

Flee from Hasley Canyon, leave behind your door.

With the fire on the mountain, and the smoke in the air,

Castaic’s fighting hard tonight, hold on through the scare.

*(Bridge)*

The shelter’s at the college, animals find a place,

Hearts are racing, tears are falling, fear upon each face.

But the spirit of our town holds strong, we’ll rise when flames are gone,

Castaic, we’ll rebuild again, together we’ll stand strong.

*(Verse 3)*

The heat is fierce, the drought is cruel, the fire won’t relent,

But heroes carve a path through hell, their courage heaven-sent.

To those who flee, to those who fight, we sing this song tonight,

Castaic, we’ll come home again, when the stars replace the fight.

*(Chorus)*

Castaic is burning, oh, the flames they roar,

Flee from Hasley Canyon, leave behind your door.

With the fire on the mountain, and the smoke in the air,

Castaic’s fighting hard tonight, hold on through the scare.

*(Outro)*

Oh, Castaic, hold on tight, the dawn will bring new light,

Through the ashes, we’ll return, and end this fiery fight.
