The red hot sun burns up the hill
Em DThe winter's bride, the summer's king
Em CI tramp these acres and I feel
Once upon a time
G DAnd then it seemed that everything
Em DYou saw and touched and felt was real
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel
Am DBreathing 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
D G
Once in a lifetime
You live and love
GOnce in a lifetime
DYou die
Once in a moment
CThe sun goes down
Em D Em DProt-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve
