The journey is a costly one
For Virgin and her future Son
The nights are long the star ablaze
They search for bread and safer havens
And everybody knows the truth
Inscribed within before our youth
So scrap you mind and search your heart
She wraps the child in her arms
They tried to take my walk away
They tried to take my mild away
They tried to take my light away
But you can't take my walk away
And you can't take my mild away
And you can't take my light away (yea)
Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall
The lines back then were very small
The lines today are in our hearts
The baby cries out in the dark
They tried to take my walk away
They tried to take my mild away
They tried to take my light away
But you can't take my walk away
And you can't take my mild away
No you can't take my light away (yea)
