Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride

The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again

Ears ringin' from the battle of fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel

No one wins
It's a war of man

Silver mane flyin' in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where they're runnin' to
But every kind is comin' two by two

Out on the delta where the hoof beats pound
The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machine, it's a war of man
Yeah, oh yeah

No one wins
It's a war of man
(Oh, no, no, no one wins)
No one wins
It's a war of man

The windows open and the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride

The baby creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, away from harm again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey

No one wins
It's a war of man
It's a war of man
(No one wins now)
It's a war of man
It's a war of man
