We'll have to knit or stitch a claw
We'll have to drop the guns to draw
We'll have to learn to read the letter aloud
To mum, to mum
We're so proud
We'll have to learn to face the fire

We'll have to read what you will write
We'll have to find the time to fight
We'll have to burn the porch
And you will know us
Your writing is suddenly changing
The shape of your letters is shifting
The gold in the sky is lifting
So stop me now
So warn me now
So feel me now
So lonely now

I know I know, I know you know

We'll have a house that we call home
We'll have a fence and we will roam
We'll have a sky, a perfect sky
And when we look up
We'll know the reasons why

Always, always away.
