In a Big Country

Stay alive
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
In a big country dreams stay with you

I never took the smile away from anybody's face

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive
Stay alive
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
In a big country dreams stay with you

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert

But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert

I never seen you look like this without a reason
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded

And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
Stay alive
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
In a big country dreams stay with you
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
