Lyrics

I met you at the border in the middle of the night
You had left the past and with your futures insight
Waving those fears and all your troubles behind
Now love is your country and peace is your state of mind.

The hurt that you felt is now covered in dust
Your tin man's tears have turned into rust
The shadows have gone that kept you so blind
Because love is your country and peace is your state of mind.

Oh stay stay awake for me
Feet on the path and you'll be free

Because love is your country and peace is your state of mind.

The moon in the morning and the stars fade away
The things that you see are so strange today
Stripped of their names the magic defines
That love is your country and peace is your state of mind.

I can't count the times that I thought I knew life
Caught in the things that kept me uptight
Now I'm drawing conclusions of a different kind
Because love is my country and peace is my state of mind.


Love as you want love as you need
In the ground planting the seeds
Living it up and living it down
Make that smile from the face frown
Open your heart and open your soul
Make a broken world so whole
Give me your hand give your mind
Bring me places that need loving kind ness

Oh yeah

Cause life is just a breath away

Where

Where love is my country and peace is my state of mind


Oh stay stay awake for me
Feet on the path and you'll be free

Because love is your country and peace is your state of mind.
Love is your country and peace is your state of mind.
Love is your country and peace is your state of mind.

That what I say oh yeah

Things that you say things that you do
If you give to one it comes back to you

The still of night the quiet of the day
All things come to those that wait

Laugh to the wind Sing to the sky
The wings of love lift you up high

Give me your hand give your mind
Bring me places that need loving kind ness

Cause life is just a breath away
Cause life is just a breath away
