(Emerson/Lake)
|
In this our life on Earth
|
Another dawn we face
|
Is this the moment of truth
|
For the whole human race
|
Is that the last man down
|
Is that the last life laid to waste
|
Can we find in our hearts
|
Each and every dream we've misplaced
|
Before Heaven cries tears
|
On the mountain we climb
|
|
Farewell to arms
|
Rest in peace
|
May the rain of freedom be released
|
Farewell to arms
|
We just can't walk away
|
We're all sharing this Earth at the end of the day
|
|
So when the cold wind bites
|
And the mad dogs speak
|
However dark is your night
|
Just keep turning your cheek
|
'Cause when the last shot's fired
|
It is then the world will be free
|
And still we are asking
|
Just how long will it be
|
Though we're blown by the crosswinds
|
We stand like a tree
|
|
Farewell to arms
|
Rest in peace
|
May the rain of freedom be released
|
Farewell to arms
|
We just can't walk away
|
We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day
|
|
Down this road we've wandered for so many years
|
With every step we take
|
We can tear down all frontiers
|
Make no mistake
|
|
Farewell to arms
|
Rest in peace
|
May the rain of freedom be released
|
