Foreign Land
When you find that unsent letter
Written in a stranger's hand
In ink as old as time itself
You're wanted in a foreign land
There's nowhere you can run or hide
No way to hide your face
Your fading time can't be denied
No-one else can take your place
In this foreign land
So open up your mind to the wonder
Drink in the meaning of One
It's time to steal death's thunder
Never let it say that it won
No harm in asking what it means
Even as it takes us by the hand
So kiss the face of all that's been
And head off to that foreign land
How can it be a foreign land
When you're always been a stranger
How can it be a foreign land
When you've never sensed its danger
How can it be a foreign land
When it's closer every day
And everyone who passes through
Is born to show the way
So lay down and dance the tango
Sing your deep songs flamenco
Bathe at the end of a rainbow
We must pay the debt that we owe
Take a bow my friend
Well done, bravo
Take a bow my friend
Take a bow my friend
Well done, bravo
Take a bow my friend
Written in a stranger's hand
In ink as old as time itself
You're wanted in a foreign land
There's nowhere you can run or hide
No way to hide your face
Your fading time can't be denied
No-one else can take your place
In this foreign land
So open up your mind to the wonder
Drink in the meaning of One
It's time to steal death's thunder
Never let it say that it won
No harm in asking what it means
Even as it takes us by the hand
So kiss the face of all that's been
And head off to that foreign land
How can it be a foreign land
When you're always been a stranger
How can it be a foreign land
When you've never sensed its danger
How can it be a foreign land
When it's closer every day
And everyone who passes through
Is born to show the way
So lay down and dance the tango
Sing your deep songs flamenco
Bathe at the end of a rainbow
We must pay the debt that we owe
Take a bow my friend
Well done, bravo
Take a bow my friend
Take a bow my friend
Well done, bravo
Take a bow my friend
