Here is the reggae version of 'The Line'
I will be posting a poll via dpoll.xyz after making a few more versions and asking people to vote which is their favourite! Then I will make a semi-professional multi-track recording of that version... It's a musical adventure!

Lyrics:
1st Verse [Chords - Am, F, C]:
There is a hard line
that sits within you
The rights gone today
you stood up for yesterday
You're now a radical
for blatantly being free
Left wing, right wing
The same indecency
Bridge [Chords - F, C, Am]:
Every time you shuffle your feet
To sacrifice a portion
You surely trade your soul
For lies and self deceit
The line is moving closer
radical you and radical me
Compromise in fear
or stand and up the gear
Chorus [Chords - Same as verse]:
Stand and stand together
Stand your ground indeed
Walk the line within you
Walk this line and see
Stand and stand together
Stand against the fear
Protect these worlds within you
Protect what you hold dear
[Break bit with skat: F, C, F, C, Am]
2nd Verse:
There is a deep vein
That courses in you
A flooding torrent
of iron magma
It starts at the core
of our precious mother
it ends in a mantra
to help brother and sister
[Bridge]
[Chorus] x 2
