Lights

[Verse 1]
You’ve been fightin’ the fire
Right down to the wire
Now you’re dirty and tired so far from home

[Verse 2]
And they’re turning the pages
Going back through the ages
And you’re praying for rain, that’ll never come

[Pre Chorus]
Watch the tinder it burns
Some will never learn
And innocence is lost, they’re just skin and bones

[Chorus]
And the lights coming over the hill in the southern land
And the brave hope and pray, and try to understand
While they sit back and watch it fall, and wonder will it end at all
The lights coming over the hill in the southern land

[Verse 3]
Now it’s eight in the morning
Hear the currawong calling
No sun in the sky it’s as dark as night

[Verse 4]
Smoke filling your senses
Dreams falling like ashes
You cry tears of pain for your fellow man

[Pre Chorus]
Watch the tinder it burns
Some will never learn
And innocence is lost, they’re just skin and bones

[Chorus]
And the light’s coming over the hill in the southern land
And the brave hope and pray, and try to understand
While they sit back and watch it fall, and wonder will it end at all
The light’s coming over the hill in the southern land

[Bridge]
Ohhh can’t walk on by while the country bleeds
Mother Nature is on her knees
And the wild and free depend on you and me
Just hold on, hold on we’re coming home

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And the lights coming over the hill in the southern land
And the brave hope and pray, and try to understand
While they sit back and watch it fall, and wonder will it end at all
The lights coming over the hill in the southern land

[Chorus]
And the lights coming over the hill in the southern land
And the brave hope and pray, and try to understand
While they sit back and watch it fall, and wonder will it end at all
The light’s coming over the hill in the southern land
And the light’s coming over the hill in the southern land
And the light’s coming over the hill in the southern land
