In the city, she wakes, before the break of day,

She'd burn the city down, she'd burn it all for love

G D
Can you see the people, staring at the steeples
Am C
Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?

Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,

We're walking right beside the ones we used to fight,

The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white,

We see for the first time, when we stop the fight,

The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white
