One Big Sky
View chords used in this chart
Em
Colored banners, color kills
What color is the blood that spills
D
If we don't see it no one will
C
Under one big sky
Guns and plowshares, promise land
Ghosts of war stretch out their hand
If we don't hear them no one can
Under one big sky
(Chorus:)
E G
Under one big sky a voice is crying to be heard
D
But in a world where love has died
E
That voice seems so absurd
E
We are children of the future
G
Maybe we're just passing through here
D
All depends on what you do here
C
Under one big sky
Quest for power; pay the cost
Liberty in tempest tossed
If we don't stop them, we'll be lost
Under one big sky
