Barbed wire and barriers are holding me
Though the barricades are only in my mind
I can`t seem to break through the walls
Even though I am made of steel
Like steel to a fire I weaken and bend in the wind
Create the desire for crossing the wire
I`m laying it all on the line
Crossing the border
Leaving the sadness far behind
Surrounded by anger and fear
I`m the eye of the hurricane
Like a leaf on a tree in the wind
I yearn to break free
Create the desire for crossing the wire
I`m laying it all on the line
Crossing the border
Leaving the sadness far behind
I`m crossing the border
Fleeing the echoes of my mind
