Through The Barricades

mother doesn ’t know where love has gone
she say it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that ’s turned to ice
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
and now I know what they ’re saying
as our sun begins to fade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades
father made my history
he fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
he tought me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart
but now that ’s torn in two
and now I know what they ’re saying
in the music of the parade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades
born on different sides of life
we feel the same and feel all of this strife
so come to me when I ’m asleep
we ’ll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
and now I know what they ’re saying
as the drums begin to fade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades
oh turn around and I ’ll be there
there ’s a scar right through my heart but I ’ll bare it again
oh I thought we were the human race
but we were just another border-line case
the scars reach down and tell
us there ’s always one escape
ooh I don ’t where love has gone
and in this trouble land desperation keeps us strong
fridays child is full of soul
with noting left to lose there ’s everything to go
and now I know what there ’re saying
it ’s a terrible beauty we made
so we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades
and now I know what there ’re saying
as our hearts go to their graves
we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades
