I was about fifteen

Am Em

I was walking the beach

F G

I was a-racing the wave

Am Em

It knocked me off my feet

I fell into the tide

It spat me back on the sand

I left without a clue

How lucky I was to land

It's been a long, long time

Since my life was spared

It's been a long, long time

But I'm still not scared

It was the dawn of man

Am Em

I held the bone in my hand

F G

I was as hungry as death

Am Em

Wandering through the sand

I met a wild boar

My bone came down with a crack

I tasted flesh and blood

And swore I'd never look back

It's been a long, long time

But I had just begun

It's been a long, long time

Out in the African sun

It's been a long, long time

Since I learned that skill

It's been a long, long time

Since my very first kill

Can somebody tell me what we are to become?

Our tiny lives

It was the month of June

Am Em

In Tienanmen Square

F G

The tanks were on TV

Am Em

But I was not yet there

The guns, they all went "pop"

We heard the screams and shouts

I was brought into this world

As they were taken out

It's been a long, long time

So many people to mourn

It's been a long, long time

Since the day I was born

It's been a long, long time

And yet no time at all

It's been a long, long time

And yet no time at all
