F		      G
The red hot sun burns up the hill

    Dm			G
The winter's bride, the summer's king

  Dm		    F
I tramp these acres and I feel

Dm	    G
Once upon a time

F			G
And then it seemed that everything

    Dm			G
You saw and touched and felt was real

    Dm			   F
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel

Dm	  G
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
G	  F
Once in a lifetime

    F
You live and love

	  F
Once in a lifetime

    G
You die

	  F
Once in a moment

    F
The sun goes down

     Dm  G	  Dm  G
Prot-ect a-nd sur-vi - ve

     Dm  G	  Dm G F
