[Intro]A5[Verse 1]A5
All around an open fire,
no-one's got a name
A5
The flame is getting
higher and higher,
nothing's quite the same
D5G5D5
But someone's learning,
G5D5A5
the fire keeps burning
D5G5D5
Someone's learning,
G5D5A5
the fire keeps burning
[Interlude]A5[Verse 2]A5
In the night three children died,
now, all were under five
A5
That's alright, God's on our side,
now, our religious right
D5G5D5
And someone's learning,
G5D5A5
someone's learning
D5G5D5
The world keeps turning,
G5D5A5
and someone's learning

Someone made a big mistake,
now, that will never do
A5
Show him what we think about it,
read it in the news
D5G5D5
And someone's learning,
G5D5A5
someone's learning
D5G5D5
The world keeps turning,
G5D5A5
and someone's learning
