Battle Lines 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
