Sunset shimmers behind the distant plains Ink drops bursting into a fiery stain For one instant suspended against the blue Until the curtain fell and the day was through I heard a muffled scream come from a broken shack Then an engine start, but I didn't turn back One man's poison can take another man's ground But sooner or later we all go down Love has brought us love will take us Whether the cards are for us or stacked against us Crooked time will weave its spell And wave you on before you'll say farewell When one soul steps on another man's road That soul's burden became another man's load Remorse comes after the deed is done But in the end we all just have to run We're all strangers upon this land Covering up the trouble we've found We're all strangers upon this land Reaching up til we all come down We're all that sunset flowing red We're all that blood that blow to the head Whose footsteps lie there in the clay? Who pulled the trigger and got away? One man's love can be another man's hate But when the coin is flipped, it never comes too late Lives are lost and decisions made But in the end all of our debts get paid Someone, somewhere is wounded Does anyone care at all? Someone, somewhere needs you To help them up when they fall We're all strangers upon this land Covering up the trouble we've found We're all strangers upon this land Reaching up till we all come down Someone, somewhere lights a candle flame For those that left that never came Others sleep easy til the dawn Somewhere up there another day is born Another day is born
