The Cross - Heartland (Rare Non-Album Track)

Amazing song by The Cross only issued on the very rare Life Changes CD that was only released in Germany and was recalled after the death of Freddie Mercury. Vocals by Roger Taylor and Peter Noone. Written by Noone.

Lyrics:
How long can this go on
How long can we see this wrong
And sing the same old song

There's a desert all round me
And the valley of apathy
Far as I could see

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand, I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland

When the colour of your skin
Decides where you begin
In analysing things

So if you walk alone
While others cast the stone
Stay on your own

The changing of the new tide
Is something you can't hide
Take your stand, this truth will fade away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland, yeah

I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now, I stand, I can't turn and face away

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland

Here I will stay
On my own I will pray
All alone on this stage
In the heartland
The heartland, yeah

Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
I ain't never gonna fade away
Alone on this stage
In the heartland
