Julian Lennon
Imaginary Lines
Heaven help the soul that's severedFrom the place where it belongscaught up in the mindless struggleOf the weak against the strongHeadlights along the borderKeep the peace, their law and orderWhy can't we see it's all a record of liesIt's their kind of strengthIt's their only defenseAn imaginary lineLetras de cancionesJust a kid and his younger brotherHeaded for the wireHad no rights in the telescopic sightsOf the vigilante's rifle fireAnd now he's buried on the borderWhere the rivers are blood not waterWhy can't we see it's all a record of lies(Why can't we see)It's their kind of truthIt can only be provedWith imaginary linesIn times like these concerningWho decides which bridge is burningDon't fall for-map readingJust make sure that you're still breathingAfter the lines were drawn, the children woulddream of the pearls and how beautiful they were.Year after year they would dive to the bottom ofthe lagoon hoping that the oysters would comeback. They risked everything-their homes, familiesand meager possessions-to search for the pearls.To make sure they were heavy enough to reach thebottom, the children tied stones to their backs.Many of them died, streams of blood and brokenbodies rose to the surface of the lagoon...andthe lagoon cried.Why can't we see it's all a record of lies(Why can't we see)It's their kind of strengthTheir only defenseAn imaginary lineWhy can't we see it's all a record of lies(Why can't we see)It's their kind of truthIt can only be provedWith imaginary lines
