[Written by Terry Gorle and Steve Benito] [Copyright 1987 Apparently Music-BMI] [Richard Cheese Music-ASCAP] Barbed wire and barriers are holding me Though the barricades are only in my mind I can't seem to break through the walls Even though I am made of steel Like steel to a fire I weaken and bend in the wind Create the desire for crossing the wire I'm laying it all on the line
Crossing the border Leaving the sadness far behind Surrounded by anger and fear I'm the eye of the hurricane Like a leaf on a tree in the wind I yearn to break free Create the desire for crossing the wire I'm laying it all on the line Crossing the border Leaving the sadness far behind I'm crossing the border Fleeing the echoes of my mind
