The news is all they've ever known 
                  D C                 D                       
They've seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger 
                C Bm                 D 
How will they choose when they are grown?

Give a little turn, listen to it spin

Make it in the shape you want it in

Tell with your life a bloody story  
                 C Bm         D 
Teach to their dreams not burning steel 
             D C                   D 
It's not in bombs where lies the glory  
                C  Bm           D 
But in what's shattered on the field 

               D C            D 
The potter's wheel takes love and caring 
           C Bm         D 
Skill and patience fast and slow

                D   C         D 
Some day some children will be digging  
         C Bm       D 
In some long forgotten ground 
                 D C        D 
And they'll find our civilization  
               C Bm         D 
Or what's left of it to be found
