Fireside Song
Banks/Phillips/Rutherford

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there’s hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
Whilst water slips into the sea
The father’s sad to see it’s free

As shadows creep towards their master night
It came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves
And as the peace descended all around
It came to pass that nature’s creatures came to face the world

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there’s hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
Whilst water slips into the sea
The father’s sad to see it’s free

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there’s hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Canzone del Focolare

Quando l’alba dissolve la nebbia sulla terra
Viene per attraversare quella bellezza depositata là da sempre
E quando la foschia si avvicina alle cose che stanno per accadere
Viene per attraversare quelle solide rocce che formano parte dell’umile vita

C’era una volta confusione,
Sconforto, paura e disillusione,
Ora c’è speranza che rinasce ogni mattina,
Si può chiaramente scorgere il futuro ogni mattina
Scorrendo per sempre lentamente verso un fosco vuoto,
Come l’acqua nel mare
Il padre è triste nel vederla libera

Quando le ombre si stagliano verso lor signora notte
Vengono per attraversare quegli alberi che hanno sfidato il vento agitatore delle loro foglie
E quando la pace discende tutto intorno
Viene per attraversare le creature della natura nate per ricoprire il mondo
