[Verse 1]
If yesterday was so far away
If holding on was so easy to do
I will be true, dear
Just like the oceans ladders
As if your warmth has healed my wounds
[Chorus]
I'm on the wire now
Running the miles down
All I reap is all I've sown
Won't you come to me, dear Catalina?
Won't you sing that victory song?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
In the country, there is a mother
With eighteen children of young and old
With nothing, but memories placed on her table
Oh, how is she gonna feed them all?
So long I waited to feel your warmth, dear
So long I waited to let the caged bird go
Won't you come to me, dear Catalina?
Won't you sing that victory song?
[Chorus]
I'm on the wire now
Running the miles down
All I reap is all I've sown
Won't you come to me, dear Catalina?
Won't you sing that victory song?
[Instrumental Outro]
