lyrics

Along the lost horizon
There's a distant shot at freedom
Breaking down the borders
That keep my heart in line

Pushing on the mountains
Leaves swell until they're tangled
Busting through the boundaries
Implanted years ago

Chained and stuck in motion
Our intentions are revealed
I realize that hope
Won't keep my hands clean

These chains may be forgotten
But they cannot be forsaken
Until the day comes
When their rattle turns to dust

Now the dust turns to quicksand
And we cannot escape
Destined to return to
The desert of our defeat

Moments turn to minutes
And minutes turn to memories
Not a day goes by
That won't leave us behind

We have to make a decision
Do we stay or do we fight
Remain with the ordinary
Or try to leave it behind

Leave it behind
Leave it behind
Leave it behind
