Zolani Mahola
Another Country (2016 version)
[Intro]
You walk beside me
And I'll tell you no lies
And then you'll see
Another country
In my eyes

[Verse 1]
If we could reach beyond the bounds of blame
And make history blind
And peel away the easy balm of words
This is all we'd find:

A mother's cries
Fear in an old man's eyes
A child's blood on the walls
No crueller price to pay
No harder way to fall

[Chorus]
Another time
Another place
(Another place)
Another country
Another state of grace
(Another state of grace)
You walk beside me
And I'll tell you no lies
And then you'll see
Another country
In my eyes

[Verse 2]
There is a place for anger
Things we won't forgive
No, no, no
And I know it's not enough
To face your shame
With words you'll never live

So let's begin
To look within
To where the future lies
And find a strength to live beneath
Another country's skies

[Chorus]
Another time
Another place
Another country
Another state of grace
You'll walk beside me
I'll tell you no lies
And then you'll see
Another country
In my eyes

And then you'll see
Another country
In my eyes

And then you'll see
Another country
In my eyes
