The Great Divide - Pressure Point

Trapped by these walls I've placed in my mind

One man's spirit has crossed the great divide

Tempered by fate and life's circumstance

Beaten and humbled I've been given one more chance

A fleeting peace for my tortured soul

A fighting hope I can't let it go

A life misspent and outcast

One step from my past

I can't let it go

Wasted my days chasing broken dreams

Hungry for a change wouldn't change a thing

Like a marked man waiting to die

I filled up space and took up time

Pictures of a life plague my mind

Searched in vain for the soul I left behind

Waged a war against the emptiness inside

A vacant soldier a facade of pride

Another era from long before

The greatest generation never more

I raised my arms to the sky

Will I ever 'cross the great divide

The voice of a greater man echoes

On lesser men his life casts shadows

From a generation of nobler men

His valiant spirit saves me from sin

Common mans journey his testament

To a life of service and commitment

Inspiring me now from the other side

Two kindred souls bridge the great divide

Another era from long before

The depression and the second world war

My heart open wide

Your spirit and mine side by side

Another era from long before

The greatest generation never more

I raised my arms to the sky

Will I ever 'cross the great divide
