No Man's Land

I found myself thrust onto this battlefield ...
With no armour and no weapons
I didn't want to have to defend myself
From the war of words that hit me
So to every hate filled bomb
I said I love you
To every evil stare
I smiled back
To every blasphemous rejection
I said, I will wait for ever
And I climbed out of the trenches
It was no place for me
Or for you
I ducked the crossfire
And I kept on walking towards you
I scrambled over barbed wire
Till I was in No Mans Land
It's lonely and it's barren here
I'm all alone
But You know I'm here
And I know you're there
Suddenly, somebody shouts "Fire..."
And your words scream out
Trained, with precision, to kill
But You know I won't fire back
For one day
You will lay down your arms of war
And You will cross that big divide
You will open your arms with love
And you will run to find me ...
