GD The red hot sun burns up the hill emD The winter's bride the summer's king em C I tramp these acres and I feel am D Once upon a time
GD And then it seemed that everything emD You saw and touched and felt was real em C You turned the tap and you turned the wheel am D 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
DG Once in a lifetime C You live and love G Once in a lifetime D You die
G Once in a moment C The sun goes down
