(Repeat Intro)

Verse:
Silver mane flyin' in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where they're runnin' to
But every kind is comin' two by two

Verse:
Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound
The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man

(Repeat Fill)

Chorus:
No one wins, it's a war of man
No one wins, it's a war of man

Verse:
The windows open and the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride

Verse:
The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.

(Repeat Fill)

Ending:
Dm7                            Dm
No one wins, it's a war of man
Dm7
No one wins, it's a war of man
Dm7
No one wins...
