the song is from 1983, but it can also be heard in a new commercial for Kohls and Dashboard Confessional recently did a cover of it, here are the lyrics:
I never saw you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
CHORUS:
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime
CHORUS
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I think it's something to do with life particularly in Scotland, being a child & all that. The video featured a kid playing with trains & The band were on a railway line/tunnel & singer Stuart Adams was the driver. It showed mountains as well. All their songs were patriotic homeland peace-type songs.

I saw something on one of those VH1 80's things, that this was about their "homeland" the UK. Metaphorically, who knows what exactly they were talking about.
