Another Country

You'll walk beside me
I'll tell you no lies
And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes

If we could reach beyond the bounds of blame
And make history blind
And peel away the easy balm of words
This is all we'd find:
A mother's cries
Fear in an old man's eyes
A child's blood on the walls
No crueller price to pay
No harder way to fall

Another time
Another place
Another country
Another state of grace

You'll walk beside me
I'll tell you no lies

And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes

There is a place for anger
Things we won't forgive
And I know it's not enough
To face your shame

With words you'll never live
But let's begin
To look within
To where the future lies

And find a strength to live beneath
Another country's skies

Another time
Another place
Another country
Another state of grace

You'll walk beside me
I'll tell you no lies

And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes

And then you'll see
Another country in my eyes
