A World Divided

Once we thought we lived as one
As content as anyone
The world was right here at our doorsteps.

But overnight the line was drawn
A wall disfigured the break of dawn
Divided into two unequal portions.

Land of glory and construction
Versus curfew and corruption
Life would never be the same again
Forced from freedom to restrictions
Refugees on deadly missions
Life would never be the same again.

There's a longing to get out
But it's forbidden to say it out loud
Someone's watching every move we make.

It's hard to rise and make a stand
With fiery armies in command
But rest assured we're still alive and dreaming.

Land of glory and construction
Versus curfew and corruption
Life would never be the same again
Forced from freedom to restrictions
Refugees on deadly missions
Life would never be the same again.

They will never control
Our thoughts and our dreams
One day soon we will take back what they stole.
