The red
hot sun burns up the hill
The winter's bride, the summer's king
I
tramp these acres and I feel
Once upon a time
Then it seemed
that everything
You saw and touched and felt was real
You
turned the tap and you turned the wheel
Breathing free
Once
in a lifetime
You live and love
Once in a lifetime
You
die
Once in a moment
The sun goes down
Protect and survive
Now you search the open evening skies
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
Refrain
Protect and
survive
Protect and survive
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
Refrain
Von Calum und Rory Macdonald
