(RECORDER INTRO)
Dm Bb | Gm C | Dm F | C F
(VERSE 1)
Dm C Bb F
All across this broken land,
Dm C Bb
We're worn away by warfare,
Dm C Bb F
Every woman and every man,
Gm Bb C
Must offer up a prayer.
(VERSE 2)
Dm C Bb F
Beyond the mountain so far away,
Dm C Bb
Still torn apart from all that we know,
Dm C Bb F
Hoping that in the light of day,
Gm Bb C
We will take the chance and go.
(CHORUS)
F C Bb
We will fly___, when the morning's here,
F C Bb C
High___, and awake for ever,
F C Gm
Fly___, when the way is clear,
Bb C F
When the morning's here.
(VERSE 3)
Even at this darkest hour,
We dream of days of freedom,
And hope the nights will give us the power,
To take the chance and run.
(CHORUS)
(RECORDER SOLO - I think this uses the chorus chords but I'm not 100% sure)
(VERSE 4)
Though still we dream of home,
Kind hands are always waiting,
To light the candle and let it burn,
To guide us to the door,
Gm Bb C
And sing with us once more.
