Lyrics
Beyond our Gate 2008 Bill Robinson ASCAP Took a stroll through the park on gravel paths where worn out men were walking And playgrounds laughed and giggled While moms and baby sitters sat talking Then I looked into a mothers eyes Knowing good sons were lyin dyin In a far off place of war with Sad women and old children cryin Seen a man push a shopping cart Hes Captain delusion in his crowd The memories of war in his dreams In their silence are so loud Seen a girl who works for highs and lows In dark movie houses in the back row Her back is to the screen she dont see They play a life shell never know Its hard to give a damn when its someone elses news Its hard to give a damn when youre drowning in you own blues. Its a wrong way to feel Its a wrong way to deal With the truths that were all knowing Men will die on a perfect day Its a wrong way to feel Its a wrong way to deal We all sit here safe and contemplate the rest of the world beyond our gate Bridge I came home and locked the door Forgot about the girl Forgot about the shopping cart Forgot about the war Repeat Prechorus and Chorus
