Intro, Bm
D                                  Bm     
I remember  the promise, that you made in the barn
          D                           Bm
when the kittens were born, and you could not keep warm
       D                                  Bm
so you moved away the mountains, that the sun rose behind
         D                               Bm
and you said yourself a prayer, and laid down with the blind
         A                          /b      D
but you lost them in your freedom, and you need him now you're wild
A                         D
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child


And the vow of compassion, that you swore through your teeth
when the war began to end, and the photographs weep
well nobody blames you, as the train pulls away
with its cargo of snow, for these German paper-weights


but you lost them in your freedom, and you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child


Well it's five in the morning, there's no one at home
except for your wife, and your child on the phone
somebody's got to listen, to a promise or two
oh, this room is far too small, for a pilgrim like you


but you lost them in your freedom, and you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child


So now that you've decided, to follow the sun
like a shadow of birds, or a king on the run
oh, your chains are too dark, for the seas you must swim
you're smiling at the seaweed, but your smile is too grim


oh, you lost them in your freedom, you need him now you're wild
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child
blessed is the memory, of everybody's child
