Heartland

It's not the thought of leaving you
That brings the tears to my eyes
I walked alone I let the days go by
Under your blood red skies

With all the things that make a future
I wrote my name in your past
Brave young lions stand together
But setting suns don't ever last

Don't say that I abandon you
Don't say that I never tried
I walk along like a stateless man
So far from home

Heartland burning sand shining through
Heartland don't let them crucify you

When all the wars are over
And all the words have turned to sand
You will live forever
A silent wonder land

Don't say that I abandon you
Don't say that I never cried
I walk along like a stateless man
So far from home

Heartland burning sand shining through
Heartland I love you
