| I’ve been away so long
|
| And Father, I
|
| Don’t know where I have gone
|
| The tide brought me here
|
| I called it home
|
| A place I’d never known
|
| It seems I’m caught between
|
| Moving plates
|
| Beneath my feet
|
| I can see beyond
|
| The wall that’s standing in the way
|
| You are waiting on the other side
|
| After all I built it with
|
| My very own hands, can’t you tell?
|
| So why is it so hard for me
|
| To take down?
|
| I was born on the border line
|
| And thoughts raced through my mind
|
| Atoms escape in the middle of the night
|
| And my heart and head collide
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| On the great divide
|
| Been away so long
|
| And Mother, I
|
| Don’t know where time has gone
|
| The wind brought me here
|
| I call it home
|
| A place I’d never known
|
| I can see beyond the wall
|
| I hear a distant call
|
| You are waiting on the other side
|
| After all I built it with
|
| My very own hands, can’t you tell?
|
| So why is it so hard for me
|
| To take down?
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| And thoughts raced through my mind
|
| Atoms escape in the middle of the night
|
| And my heart and head collide
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| On the great divide
|
| I can see beyond the wall
|
| I hear a distant call
|
| You are waiting on the other side
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| And thoughts raced through my mind
|
| Atoms escape in the middle of the night
|
| And my heart and head collide
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| And thoughts raced through my mind
|
| Atoms escape in the middle of the night
|
| And my heart and head collide
|
| I was born on a border line
|
| On the great divide |
