lyrics

And we were born amongst the fields, in the sun-dried earth we lay
We learned to walk amongst the hills and in the groves we learned to play
And all the seasons were in order, the swallows flew away in winter
We had a fire, we had the sun, there were no reasons not to stay

Then all the fields had to be hardened and all the hills had to be flattened – yes and the groves had to be cut
Then our hearts had to be hardened and our lifelines to be flattened – yes and our tree-house to be cut
Oh the breeze threw us to our knees and the dust it raised, never to settle again
While all the seasons were in order we took the chance to fly in winter
Through the snow we chased the sun, there were no reasons now to stay

We flew across the borders and our hearts remained the same
The grass is never greener, it’s just a different shade

And we were born amongst the fields; under a ton of bricks they lie
What did we learn up in the hills that could inspire us to fly?
And all the seasons are in order, the swallows fly towards the summer
We have the fire of the sun, we’ve got no reasons not to stay
