the sounds of war dances in the street
death is marching in the heat
and the people's cry will soon disappear
there's a chill left in the morning air
burning eyes that only stare
and soon you know they'll all disappear
they stepped on the dream you started
no sleep for the broken hearted
life goes on and on
when you stop and when you see
don't matter what they've done to me
life goes on and on
and now you're so far away
and now you're so far away
their bombs crack the skies and street
rolling guns and can't be beat
and the people lies surrounded in fear
you think you know but you're not sure
what your life is really for
when it feels just like it's all been a sin
you may step on the dream you started
no sleep for the broken hearted
and still we carry on
so when you stop and when you see
it don't matter what they've done to me
your life goes on and on
and now you're so far away
and now you're so far away
i've been searching for a new direction
where the hills roll on and on
where the sky seems to be never ending
and life goes on and on
someday i'll float away
like all my yesterdays and dreams
and don't live on
just like a castaway
but i think i'd rather sail away
when i'm not all alone
and now you're so far away
and now you're so far away
i've been searching for a new direction
where the hills roll on and on
where the sky seems to be never ending
and life goes on and on
someday i'll float away
like all my yesterdays and dreams
and don't live on
just like a castaway
but i think i'd rather sail away
when i'm not all alone
and now you're so far away
now you're so far away
