[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse 1]
GThe red hot sun burns Dup the hill,
The Emwinter's bride, the sDummer's king
I Emtramp these acres aCnd I feel
EmOnce upon a tDime
And Gthen it seemed that Deverything
You sEmaw and touched and felt was Dreal
You Emturned the tap and you tCurned the wheel
EmBreathing fDree
[Chorus]
DOnce in a lGifetime ,You lCive and love
Once in a lGifetime ,You dDie
Once in a mGoment ,The sCun goes down
ProteEmct aDnd survEmive D

[Verse 2]
GNow you search the open Devening sky
TEmrace the memoriesD in your eyes
For Emthe prophet's hard rain aCnd the deluge
LEmie in tears around yoDur door
Once Gthere were trees and lDivestock here
A mEmother's love, the wDarnings clear
BEmut you chose to turn aCway from fear
EmBreathing Dfree
[Chorus]
DOnce in a lGifetime ,You lCive and love
Once in a lGifetime ,You dDie
Once in a mGoment ,The sCun goes down
ProteEmct aDnd survEmive D

[Verse 3]
GNow there's a faceless cross on a dDistant hill
A Emwasted voice, a Dsilent scream
Where Emthe lovers love and the dCreamers dream
You Emstand and dream Dalone
You took yGour sacrifice to the Dgods of war
TrEmaded your children's lives for a Dmess of gold
And yEmou beat your ploughshares Cinto swords
EmBreathing Dfree
[Chorus]
DOnce in a lGifetime ,You lCive and love
Once in a lGifetime ,You dDie
Once in a mGoment ,The sCun goes down
ProteEmct aDnd survEmive D
[Chorus]
DOnce in a lGifetime ,You lCive and love
Once in a lGifetime ,You dDie
Once in a mGoment ,The sCun goes down
ProteEmct aDnd survEmive D
[Outro]
ProteEmct aDnd survEmive D
