Verse 1:
D                                 Bb7      A7
  It's hard to tell just when the night be-comes the day,
D                             Bb7           A7
  That golden moment when the darkness rolls away;
Bbmaj7                Cmaj7
  But there is a moment none the less.
D                       Bb7       A7
  In the regions of the heart there is a place,
D                        Bb7         A7
  A sacred charter that should not be erased;
Bbmaj7                Cmaj7         Bbmaj7             A7
    It is the marrow; the moral core that   I cannot ignore.

Chorus:
D        D2                        G6   Gm6
  Within the scheme of things Well I know where I stand.
D2                     Em7/A  F#7/A#
  My convictions they define  who    I am
Bm                              Bm7 E7         Em9                A7
  Some move the boundaries at    an-y cost, But   there is a line, I will not cross!
D   D2/F#          G6        Gm6
  No riding on the fence - no alibis.
D2/F#                Em/A     F#7/A#
  No building on the sands of compromise;
Bm                          Bm7   E7
  I won't be borrowed and I   can't be bought no,
Em9                A7sus             D2 Bb7 A7 D2 Bb7 A7
  There is a line, I will not cross!

Verse 2:
D                           Bb7   A7
    Ask the ocean where the water meets the land,
D                          Bb7     A7
    He will tell you it de-pends on where you stand;
Bbmaj7                       Cmaj7
  And you're neither right or wrong.
D                           Bb7      A7
  But in the fathoms of the soul that won't ring true;
D                            Bb7     A7
'Cause truth is more than an imposing point of view
Bbmaj7                Cmaj7         Bbmaj7                  A7     
    It rises above the changing tide   As sure as the morning sky.

Chorus:
D        D2                        G6   Gm6
  Within the scheme of things Well I know where I stand.
D2                     Em7/A  F#7/A#
  My convictions they define  who    I am
Bm                              Bm7 E7         Em9                 A7
  Some move the boundaries at    an-y cost, But   there is a line, I will not cross!
D   D2/F#          G6        Gm6
  No riding on the fence - no alibis.
D2/F#                Em/A     F#7/A#
  No building on the sands of compromise;
Bm                            Bm7   E7
  I won't be borrowed and I   can't be bought no,
Em9                A7                 D2 Bb7 A7 D2 Bb7 A7
  There is a line, I will not cross!

  There is a line, 
Em9             A7                 
  Oh, There is a line,
Em9                A7               D2 Bb7 A7 D2 Bb7 A7  D2 Bb7 A7 D2 Bb7 Bb7 A7 A7
