Across The Border - Children Of The Valley lyrics

rate me

Years ago we were born in the valley of our fathers

We grew up with the trees,

Where strong winds used to blow

Oh, sing this song with us children of this valley' o

We went to school to learn this life

And what we need to survive

That "Lenin, Marx and Co." is our biggest foe

Sing this song with us children of this valley' o

We all had dreams for our way,

We tried to reach for the stars

Big train driver, deep sea diver,

Pretty girls, expensive cars

At fifteen we must decide what to do

Our whole life long

I was too small for the police

"what a shame", don' t get me wrong

So I sold clothes in a suit to rich people,

Those were the days

But three years later I said "goodbye"

I was looking for new ways

... for new ways

One friend of mine went to Berlin

To change the world and paint the wall

Maybe this was the cause, maybe more,

For the wall to fall

With this money gone, had too much fun,

He sold his body to the industry

They gave him money, gave him drugs,

They took his dream to be free

That was the last I've ever heard of him

Maybe all were just lies

But when I'm served in his parents shop,

I just see sadness in their eyes

... in their eyes
