🎸 Verse:
F
Oh, I know your way
    C
Is hard to see today
 F                             Bm
Bullets, they fly faster than mother's lullabies

         F
And the sparrows cannot sing
    C
For it is theirs to bring
     F                   Bm         F
The souls of those lost babies back to the sky

🎸 Verse:
   F
So it is yours to sing
    C
My child, my wild brightling
          F                          Bm
With the love born in the cradle of time

     F
And fight and fight and fight
C
In the dying light
         F               Bm       F
For all lost and gone forever clementines


🎸 Chorus:
     F
Requiem
     C
Requiem
     F
The question is not if
Bm
It was always when

       F
But Go on, Go on my child
 C
Hope is a prairie fire
 F              Bm             F
Set your embers on the summer wind

Tu chante maintenant pour tous

Les enfants dans les ombres

Peurs et froids, perdus

Courage chanter bien forte
     C
Les perdus vont t'entendre
    F                Bm                F
Et suivre le son de dix mille voix en joie
