(A)            G              Bm 
I’m told the end is not far away 
               G                   Bm    
I’ve seen the change, it’s ours to save 
(A)          G                     Bm 
Before the sun has time, time to fade 
         G                            Bm 
We must light the torch, to find our way 



Bm           G    D        Bm 
I felt the earth moving today 
            G      D         Em  
And I saw a change in the waves 
G       Bm         D         Em  
The sky went from blue to black 
G       Bm               D       Bm        
The leaves have all been burnt away
