A one, two There is a fine line Between recklessness and courage It's about time You understood which road to take It's a fine line When your decision makes a difference Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake [Chorus:] Come on brother All is forgiven We all cried when you were driven away Come on brother Everything is better Everything is better When you come home and stay Whatever's more important to you You've got to choose what you want to do Whatever's more important to be That's the view that you've got to see There is a long way Between chaos and creation If you don't say Which one of these you're gonna choose It's a long way And in every contradiction Seems to say It's a game you are bound to lose [Chorus] Come on back, come on back Come on back to me It's a fine line It's a fine line Whatever's more important to you It's a fine line You've got to choose what you want to do It's a fine line Whatever's more important to be It's a fine line Well, that's the view that you've got to see It's a fine line It's a fine line It's a fine line It's a fine line It's a fine line It's a fine line
