Big Country
In A Big Country
----------------

(come up screaming) 
(come up screaming) 

I've never seen you look like this 
Without a reason 
Another promise fallen through 
Another season passes by you 

I never took the smile away 
From anybody's face 
And that's a desperate way to look 
For someone who is still a child 

(Chorus:) 
In a big country dreams stay with you 
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside 
Stay Alive 

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered 
You can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered 

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert 
But I can live and breathe 
And see the sun in wintertime 

Chorus 
Chorus 

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you 
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded 
Pull up your head off the floor and come up screaming 
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted 
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered 
You can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
