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
