As we walk the wire
across desperate times
will tomorrow find us
will you still be mine
will we hold our child
will he have a place
is there a hope for the human race?

chorus:
If it all comes true
and our dreams fall like bombs from the blue
oh my love come stand by me

With a life between us
my love is green
I've got something to live for
a reason to dream
but where can we turn
where can we hide
to find a future on the other side

(chorus)

And if it all comes real
confirming this fear that I feel
oh my love come stand by me
stand by me

Little people like us, girl
never have control
of their destinations
when the plan unfolds
will we walk in the sun
will we lie in the shade
is there a life for the love we've made?

(chorus)

And if it all proves real
infecting this fear that I feel
come my love stand by me
stand by me
