battlelines

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
