SOL RE
The red hot sun burns up the hill
MIm RE
The winter's bride, the summer's king
MIm DO
I tramp these acres and I feel
LAm RE
Once upon a time
SOL RE
And then it seemed that everything
MIm RE
You saw and touched and felt was real
MIm DO
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel
LAm RE
Breathing free
Now you search the open evening sky
Trace the memory in your eyes
For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge
Lie in tears around your door
Once there were trees and livestock here
A mother's love, the warnings clear
But you chose to turn away from fear
Breathing free
Now there's a faceless cross on a distant hill
A wasted voice, a silent scream
Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream
You stand and dream alone
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war
Traded your children's lives for a mess of gold
And you beat your ploughshares into swords
Breathing free
RE SOL
Once in a lifetime
DO
You live and love
SOL
Once in a lifetime
RE
You die
SOL
Once in a moment
DO
The sun goes down
MIm RE MIm RE
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
MIm RE MIm RE SOL
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
