[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
There has always been a dividing line
But you choose, you choose, yes, you choose not to see it
[Verse 1]
And then you wonder why you fall
It cuts through the heart of every city
If you climb to the top of the highest building
You can see where it falls 'cause the street lights stop, the colours start to change
You hear a voice inside you, not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Bridge]
In the comfort and safety of your own home
Remember those outside in the cold and the wind and the rain
And take in your hands a little ray of light
And turn it into a beam that pierces the darkness of the night
[Chorus]
There has always been a dividing line
But you choose, you choose, yes, you choose not to see it
[Verse 2]
Sometimes we believe if we close our eyes, the rain might wash it away
That's why we stumble and we fall, not the words that you wanted to hear
Not the things that you wanted to see, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Outro]
When everything that you hold dear to you
Has finally faded away from your life
The last cold ray of sunshine slowly disappears
Round the corner of the building and leaves you alone
When darkness covers the city and the streets are silent too
What will you turn to
[Instrumental Outro]
