My
Am
brother stands at the
Am/F♯
end of the
G
line
My
F
children
G
at the
Em
breaking
D
wall
The
Am
clouds are opening
Am/F♯
over the
G
earth
The
F
palms a
G
dark and
Em
waving
D
wall
And we
Am
call back to the
G
old familiar
F
life
My father climbs to the top of the rail
His head above the roaring world
His body burning, his eyes on the waves
And a god below the waterline
And the grim towers along the barrier line
In the
C
cold light of a
G
weakening
F
star
Though the last shower of fire wheels in the air
I am life breathed in the radiant lie
