Treading over fields unknown Watching how the ripples go sea to shore I stand in amazement Looking at the world still turning around Jupiter and mars, satellites and stars Will show the way to go Hidden all along, hidden in a song A distant melody As I stand on the edge who is to stay with time Ticking away there will come a greater day? The soil is turning black under our feet The rivers are red and the willows weep All days will end with surgical bend I slip into a dream where sleeping walkers are waiting For their sons and daughters to come home from school The lesson is it learned The bridge it is burned but who can really tell? When sent from afar, yes the great unkown And washed ashore on our land I won't turn my back, I'm not afraid When I heard you say they are on to us I will stand the ground that we have found Show them the heart of a simple man I fell like thorns upon a crown Like lost lovers in the night Certainly you've been loved Together we carry the load All days will end with surgical bend Treading over fields unknown Jupiter and mars, satellites and stars Hidden all along, hidden in a song A distant melody I won't turn my back, I'm not afraid When I heard you say they are on to us I will stand the ground that we have found Show them the heart of a simple man
