In a Big Country - Face To Face

Come up screaming

Come up screaming

I’ve never seen you look like this without a reason

Another promise fallen through

Another season passes by you

I never took the smile away from anybody’s face

And that’s a desperate way to look

For someone who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

But you can’t stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I’m not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

But I can live and breathe

And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive

Stay alive

So take that look out of here it doesn’t fit you

Because it’s happened doesn’t mean you’ve been discarded

Pull up your head off the floor—come up screaming

Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

But you can’t stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I’m not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

But I can live and breathe

And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover’s voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive (repeat 3)
