Lyrics:

A one, two…

[Verse 1]
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 makin' 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

[Post-Chorus]
Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you wanna do
Whatever's more important to be
That's the view that you've gotta see

[Verse 2]
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 if every contradiction
Seems to say it's a game that you're bound to lose

[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

[Interlude]
Come on back, come on back
Come on back to me

[Outro]
It's a fine line
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to you (It's a fine line)
You got to choose what you wanna do
Whatever's more important to be (It's a fine line)
Well, that's the view that you've gotta 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
