It had a profound effect on me.  It has many levels and it is perfectly beautiful.  It is by an acoustic group named Dala, they have it on their My Space page, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/dalagirls\" target=\"blank\">Dalagirls<\/a>, I think if you listen to it you will as enthralled as I am.  And I hope see the possibilities that spring from within it.<\/p>\n<p>Fortress<br \/>\nI will watch you disappear<br \/>\nFrom my fortress over here<br \/>\nAnd I will never understand<br \/>\nEvery heart&#8217;s a foreign land<\/p>\n<p>CHORUS<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;m so afraid to<br \/>\nSo afraid to<br \/>\nLove you<\/p>\n<p>I have turned my eyes away<br \/>\nFrom the harsh light of your day<br \/>\nAnd I have slept through pouring rain<br \/>\nIt was all that kept me sane<\/p>\n<p>chorus<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help where I&#8217;ve come from<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t help that I&#8217;m so numb<br \/>\nI&#8217;m dying for my city lights<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re dying from your country life<\/p>\n<p>chorus<\/p>\n<p>I have drawn lines in the sand<br \/>\nTo remind us where we stand<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ll build castles while you thirst<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ll fall down but you&#8217;ll fall first<\/p>\n<p>We are each a foreign land, each brave soul who has taken the step from behind the veil into this wonderland of the relative universe.  We all draw our lines in the sand and build our castles well.  What we need learn and have not yet is that when the wind blows away the lines and knocks down our castles of sand, is when we need each most.
