GENESIS - The Dividing Line lyrics

rate me

There has always been a dividing line

But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it

And then you wonder why you fall

It cuts through the heart of every city

If you climb to the top of the highest building

You can see where it falls 'cause the streetlights stop

The colours start to change

You hear a voice inside you

Not the words that you wanted to hear

Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey

In the comfort and safety of your own home

Remember those outside in the cold

And the wind and the rain

And take in your hands a little ray of light

And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night

There has always been a dividing line

But you choose, you choose, yes you choose not to see it

Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes

The rain might wash it away

That's why we stumble and we fall

Not the words that you wanted to hear

Not the things that you wanted to see hey, hey, hey, hey

When everything that you hold dear to you

Has finally faded away from your life

The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears

Round the corner of the building

And leaves you alone

When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too

What will you turn to...
