There are so many sounds that we've never heard Many things your eyes haven't seen beyond the veil And when we speak of freedom, do you feel the words? Are you hurt by the taste of your own strength? In this life, you gotta walk the line Mama said, everything's gonna be fine In this life, you gotta walk the line And be brave, you'll make it through one more time I had a dream one day, fallin' pure A little birdie came and sang a song to me, yeah She said, we may be in the cage, but the cage is not in us Don't you let nobody hold you back No cage strong enough to bind me And God has the perfect timing Brother, tomorrow your day is coming Sister, tomorrow your time is coming In this life, you gotta walk the line Mama said, everything's gonna be fine In this life, you gotta walk the line And be brave, you'll make it through one more time In this life, you gotta walk the line Mama said, everything's gonna be fine In this life, you gotta walk the line And be brave, you'll make it through one more time These are not our dreams You gotta believe it Ooh, I know, I know it's hard to see But you gotta believe it
