She hit the borderline
The day she finally crossed the line and spoke
Without the hope
That had her choked till now
And swiftly to her head came
All the comfort she’d been fed
And she recalled just how she’d bled
And how they’d watched her try
CHORUS:
Don’t take me for a fool
‘Cos I know the world is cruel
Don’t say it’s OK
All the good has gone away
And innocence it was her fire
For she believed that purity
Was all that was required
To live a better way
But there was for us
No place to hide
For that same day
A child died
Two boys were charged and questioned why
But they could not reply
CHORUS
We fall and call and we carry it all
Gathering on the way
We reach and we teach and how we love to preach
As long as our views can stay the same
As long as they stay the same
