Through the Barricades - Paul Potts
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeling strong
I see her little face that turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying
As the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying
In the music of the parade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
But we feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the line
And dance upon the street
And now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh turn around and I'll be there
Oh there's a scar might through my heart
But I'll bare it again
Well I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border line case
When the stars reach down and tell us
There's only one escape
I don't know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
There's everything to go
And now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've paid
And we make our love on wasteland
Through the barricades
And now I know what they're saying
As the hearts go to their graves
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
