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
