Real Life - Heartland lyrics

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
