Out on the blue horizon, the clouds were rollin' in
The ground below was shaking, with the risin' wind
I looked over my shoulder, said goodbye to my home
After today there'd be no turning back, we were on our ownEveryone had taken sides, the battle lines were drawn
We stared into the face of war and waited for the dawn
Everything that we worked for, they took from our hands
We were left with no choice but to stand up and fight for this landBut don't worry, darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
And somehow you will find the strength
To stand up on your own and live in this brave new worldHow it all came down to this, no one can really say
Every time we cried out for help, they looked the other way
Now there's no turning back, we have got to be strong
We will travel the hard road to freedom, no matter how longBut don't worry, darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
These are the times we're born into
This is why we're here to live in this brave new world
