Rasta Rita - Crossed Lines Lyrics

[Intro]
Echoes of sirens fade away
Another morning, another day
In this babylon of pain
Trying to wash away the stain

[Verse 1]
Used to share coffee and dreams
Now you're lost in war machines
They took your smile, your peaceful ways
Left you counting bloody days
Sister, I feel your heavy load
Walking down this lonely road
They turned your garden into stone
Left you fighting all alone

[Chorus]
We're all children of the same sun
But they make us hold the gun
Jah knows this ain't what we chose
When will all this madness close?
I and I can't watch you fade
In this game that others played

[Verse 2]
Remember nights in Istanbul
When our hearts were truly full
Now static crackles through the line
While I'm smoking, drinking wine
They drew their lines across the land
Split friends with their command
But borders can't divide our souls
Though their system takes its toll

[Bridge]
Politicians play their games
While we're dancing in the flames
But I'll keep singing through the night
'Til this darkness turns to light

[Chorus]
We're all children of the same sun
But they make us hold the gun
Jah knows this ain't what we chose
When will all this madness close?
I and I can't watch you fade
In this game that others played

[Outro]
Through the smoke and through the haze
I'll keep counting all these days
'Til you're back where you belong
Singing freedom's sweet love song
Sister, hold on, stay strong
This babylon won't last long
