Heartland - Real Life

It’s not the thought of leaving you

That brings the tears to my eyes

I walked alone, I let the days go by

Under your blood red skies

With all the things that make a future

I wrote my name in your past

Brave young lions stand together

But setting suns don’t ever last

Don’t say that I abandon you

Don’t say that I never tried

I walk along like a stateless man

So far from home

Heartland, burning sand shining through

Heartland, don’t let them crucify you

When all the wars are over

And all the words have turned to sand

You will live forever

A silent wonderland

Don’t say that I abandon you

Don’t say that I never cried

I walk along like a stateless man

So far from home

Heartland, burning sand shining through

Heartland, understand I love you

Heartland, burning sand shining through

Heartland, don’t let them crucify you

Heartland, I love you

Heartland, heartland
