In a Big Country (Radio Edit) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ha!

[Verse 1]
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
Shah!
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

[Verse 2]
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

[Bridge]
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

[Verse 3]
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Shah! Ha! Ha!
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
[Chorus]
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Ha!
Shah!
