Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride
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
Ears ringin' from the battle of fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel
No one wins
It's a war of man
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
Out on the delta where the hoof beats pound
The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machine, it's a war of man
Yeah, oh yeah
No one wins
It's a war of man
Oh, no, no, no one wins
No one wins
It's a war of man
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
The baby 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, away from harm again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
No one wins
It's a war of man
It's a war of man
No one wins now
It's a war of man
It's a war of man
