She hit the borderline

The day she finally crossed the line and spoke

Without the hope

That had her choked till now



And swiftly to her head came

All the comfort she’d been fed

And she recalled just how she’d bled

And how they’d watched her try



CHORUS:

Don’t take me for a fool

‘Cos I know the world is cruel

Don’t say it’s OK

All the good has gone away



And innocence it was her fire

For she believed that purity

Was all that was required

To live a better way



But there was for us

No place to hide

For that same day

A child died

Two boys were charged and questioned why

But they could not reply



CHORUS



We fall and call and we carry it all

Gathering on the way

We reach and we teach and how we love to preach

As long as our views can stay the same

As long as they stay the same
