Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
See it in her face, that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she show the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying when the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned off by heart but now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the line and dance upon the street
And now I know what they're saying when the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar through my heart but I'll bare it again
I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us that there's always one escape
I don't know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Friday’s child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
And now I know what they're are saying it's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades
Now I know what they're are saying as hearts go to their graves
We made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
