Fireside Song

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth

It came to pass that beauty

Settled there forever more

And as the steam clings close to things to come

It came to pass that solid rock

Did part for humble life

[Chorus]

Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

[Post-Chorus]

Forever drifting slowly

Towards a hazy emptiness

Whilst water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it free

[Verse 2]

As shadows creep towards their master night

It came to pass that trees defied the wind

Who shook their leaves

And as the peace descended all around

It came to pass that nature's creatures came

To face the world

[Chorus]

Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

[Post-Chorus]

Forever drifting slowly

Towards a hazy emptiness

Whilst water slips into the sea

The father's sad to see it free

[Chorus]

Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion

Now there's hope reborn with every morning

See the future clearly at its dawning

Once upon a time there was confusion

Disappointment, fear and disillusion…
