Verse:		
Bb         F
Out of the blue,
       Bb         F
On the wings of a dove,
  Bb        F
A messenger comes,
           C
with the beating of drums,
             Bb
itʼs not a message of love
    Bb           F
Our children are born,
    Bb           F
and we keep them warm,
     Bb            F
they must have the right
               C
to live in the light,
           Bb
to be safe from the storm.
    Bb         F
And out of the blue,
     Bb           F
with wings on his heels,
  Bb        F
a messenger comes,
        C
bearing regrets
            Bb
for the time that he steals.
    Bb          F
But steal it he will,
   Bb             F
my childrenʼs and mine,
Bb          F
against our desires,
                C
against all our needs,
              Bb
our blood spilled like wine.

Dm

Chorus:		
Dm       C       Bb
Over and over we call,
       Dm
No one hears... and further
    C           Bb         F
and further and further we fall...
          Dm           C              Bb
Though we brave it, we soon will have wait
      Dm                 C
It is clear that itʼs no dream at all,
    Bb           F
our lives are at stake.

Bb C

Verse:		
Bb     F
I cannot believe...
    Bb   F
nor even pretend...
         Bb        F
that the thunder I hear,
          C
will just disappear,
              Bb
and the nightmare will end.
   Bb            F
So hold back the fire,
        Bb           F
because this much is true,
     Bb             F
when allʼs said and done,
                 C
then ending will come,
                Bb
from out of the blue.
