Steve Hackett - Battlelines lyrics

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
