Battle Lines Lyrics

John Wetton Battle Lines

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 had that offers
peace The heart that still gives shelterÉ
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 endingÉ
A vision of eternity Oh, Lord! Never take the dream from me
Here I am, standing at the edge of destinyÉ
