There Is a Line

[Verse 1]

It's hard to tell

Just when the night becomes the day

That golden moment

When the darkness rolls away

But there is a moment nonetheless

In the regions of the heart there is a place

A sacred charter that should not be erased

It is the marrow, the moral core

That I can not ignore

[Chorus]

Within the scheme of things

Well, I know where I stand

My convictions they define who I am

Some move the boundaries at any cost

But there is a line I will not cross

No riding on the fence, no alibis

No building on the sands of compromise

I won't be borrowed and I can't be bought, no

There is a line I will not cross

[Verse 2]

Ask the ocean

Where the water meets the land

He will tell you

It depends on where you stand

And you're neither right or wrong

But in the fathoms

Of the soul that won't ring true

'Cause truth is more

Than an imposing point of view

It rises above the changing tide

As sure as the morning sky

[Chorus]

Within the scheme of things

Well, I know where I stand

My convictions they define who I am

Some move the boundaries at any cost

But there is a line I will not cross

No riding on the fence, no alibis

No building on the sands of compromise

I won't be borrowed and I can't be bought

There is a line I will not cross

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Within the scheme of things

I know where I stand

My convictions they define who I am

Some move the boundaries at any cost

But there is a line I will not cross

No riding on the fence, no alibis

No building on the sands of compromise

I won't be borrowed and I can't be bought, no

There is a line, oh, there is a line

There is a line I will not cross
