Among bushes and trees
Between borders we all wait for tomorrow
But at eighteen we were all just starting to live
How were we to know?
By whose measure will our lives be weighed at the end?
God only knows the fear that we felt
At eighteen we all just wanted to live and be alive
In a flash it could all come to an end

Are you calling me?
Calling me back to the Cutline, my friend?
How much the world has changed since then
We were young and never knew that tomorrow would bring
Are you searching for me?
Searching for me in the dust and your blood?
You said you heard God call out your name
And then you were gone

After so many years
Our thoughts and deeds are still with us
Only soldiers live with the damage caused by borders
How we can understand?
Even though the bush has covered our tracks
In those dark bushes we became brothers in arms
And in those dark bushes we prayed together for tomorrow
In a flash it would all come to an end

Are you calling me?
Calling me back to the Cutline, my friend?
How much the world has changed since then
We were young and never knew that tomorrow would bring

Where are you know?
Will we remember your name when we stand at the wall?
You've never been honoured and no-one will know
your part of the story and how it helped our nation to grow
And at that wall
I will stand for hours
But where is your name now, my friend?
Don't they understand?
Young soldiers sacrificed their lives and now have to carry the blame

Are you calling me?
Calling me back to the Cutline, my friend?
How much the world has changed since then
We were young and never knew that tomorrow would bring

Where are you know?
Will we remember your name when we stand at the wall?
You've never been honoured and no-one will know
Your part of the story and how it helped our nation to grow
And at that wall
I will stand for hours
And at that wall
I will stand for hours
