Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Such things should never happen
but we die
[D]The swallow find[G]s an oak
[C]to nest her young
Defenseless between the
earth and the sky
Uncounted beneath a vast,
indifferent [G]sun

[Verse 2]
A mother holds her baby [G]to her
breast
She trusts in you yet does
not dare to breathe
As the baby sparrow falls from its nest
As the mighty oak does not appear to see

[Verse 3]
Such things should never happen, [G]but
they do
Beside a little [C]box, a mother cries
The swallow seeks to [G]build
its nest anew
The oak tree lifts its branches to its

[Outro 1]
eyes
[G][D][C][G][Em]
[G][Em]
[G]
