first recorded at Blue Wave Studios for Jonne Krom, the previous incarnation of The Fault, in early 1988; then new vocals added and remixed later in 1989 at Profile Studios; received some radio airplay

lyrics

Do what you want.
Time has come, open up your eyes …
And realize there’s more than we can see.

Feel in your heart.
Strike a common ground, without a sound.
The struggle to be free.

Another day, another way,
We will laugh at it all.
Far away, you could say we might answer the call.

We are all the same.
Fighting to break down walls
To watch them fall
And vanish in the haze.

Trust lies within.
Trust that a madman’s sneeze
Won’t shake our knees
Or hold us in despair.

Another day, another way,
We will laugh at it all.
Far away, you could say we might answer the call.
