Walk Away

When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty
When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty

Down by that river that flows so deep
Into the waters of the bay
Taking a blessing, an innocent child
Our angels, our lost child

When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty
When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty

We live in a prison in open skies
Why must we hide behind walls?
A door may open, another may close
And what is a future who only knows?

When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty
When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty

Down to that river that flows so deep
A preacher calls, have you secrets to keep?
And down by that river that flows so deep
Sits a poet with forbidden poetry

When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty
When you walk away from your country
Then you walk away from liberty
