Another Country

You'll walk beside me

I'll tell you no lies

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes

If we could reach beyond the bounds of blame

And make history blind

And peel away the easy balm of words

This is all we'd find:

A mother's cries

Fear in an old man's eyes

A child's blood on the walls

No crueller price to pay

No harder way to fall

Another time

Another place

Another country

Another state of grace

You'll walk beside me

I'll tell you no lies

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes

There is a place for anger

Things we won't forgive

And I know it's not enough

To face your shame

With words you'll never live

But let's begin

To look within

To where the future lies

And find a strength to live beneath

Another country's skies

Another time

Another place

Another country

Another state of grace

You'll walk beside me

I'll tell you no lies

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see

Another country in my eyes
