Battle Lines - John Wetton

And now I stand, forsaking pride

The time has come to turn the tide

I’ve drawn the line, I’ve built my wall

And I won’t let one more dream fall

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where’s the wind that takes me higher

The hand that offers peace

The heart that still gives shelter…

I wanna go back to find

The innocent days that I left behind

I still believe they’re holding ground

Behind the battle lines

If it takes a million miles over land and sea

Gonna swim in the rivers of purity

I know they still run free

Behind the battle lines

One more mountain I must climb

I’ve scaled so many in my time

And if the sun goes down on me The light of truth will help me see

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where’s the voice that speaks of mercy

The eyes that are not blind

The love that’s never ending…

I wanna go back to find

The innocent days that I left behind

I still believe they’re holding ground

Behind the battle lines

If it takes a million miles over land and sea

Gonna swim in the rivers of purity

I know they still run free

A vision of eternity

Oh, Lord!

Never take the dream from me Here I am, standing at the edge of destiny…

I wanna go back to find

The innocent days that I left behind

I still believe they’re holding ground

Behind the battle lines

If it takes a million miles over land and sea

Gonna swim in the rivers of purity

I know they still run free…

Behind the battle lines
