lyrics

We were looking at the stars and holding signs
We would never dare to cross those holy lines
Oh we have wandered, we have wandered endlessly
And we have wept and pleaded for this amber sea

Have you ever looked to see those killing fields
Have you ever broken bread and shared a meal
What have you done, your brother’s blood cries out to me
“Why can’t I see; my thirst consumes me; I am weak.”

Out here in the plains

Blue sky you been good to me
Oh sweet prairie spring

We were looking at the stars and holding signs
We would never dare to cross those holy lines
Can’t break it up, can’t break it up with violence
Can’t make it out, can’t fake it now, we’re all in

Out here in the plains
Looking for an answer
