Time Immemorial

F#m      C#m
Wounded soldier, rest a while.
E                       B
  In this house you’re safe from harm.
F#m     C#m                B
Let the war fight itself.
F#m         C#m
Don’t be alarmed-
             E                  B
Though I wear a uniform of your army’s enemy,
F#m      C#m         B
I am no enemy to you.

           A                      C#m
We didn’t start this war, or the one before.
           E                               B
All we’ve ever wanted was to live in peace.

            F#m               C#m
War is the mindset of those threatened by the thought
           E             B
Of losing power, and control, don’t you see
F#m                C#m      B
Fear has been our sole enemy.
   F#m            C#m
But you and I have minds of our own,
E                 B
We can choose to disengage,
F#m                  C#m
   From the collective misperception,
E                B                      F#m C#m E
   Of the kind of war that’s being waged here.
B                  F#m C#m E B
   We’re living in fear.

F#m             C#m
Life, like the stream running through,
E                       B
  The many hills and plaines of landscape you,
F#m                 C#m             B
To meet the greater body of the sea.
F#m            C#m
There, not diminished but built upon,
E                  B                F#m
  It returns itself to where it came from,
         C#m               B
So can it be with you and me.

           A                      C#m
We are the heart and soul of our greater whole.
           E                                      B
All we’ve ever wanted was to come home to ourselves.

               F#m                  C#m
Since time immemorial there’s been conflict and war,
               E               B
Each new one greater than the one before, don't you see?
F#m                C#m        B
We have been our worst enemy.
    F#m            C#m
But you and I can break the circle,
E                 B
We don’t have to feed the flames.
F#m                C#m
   Pointing fingers, blaming others.
E                B          F#m C#m E
  We are all to blame around here,
B               F#m C#m E B
  For living in fear.

F#m C#m E B
