[Intro]
Do, do, do, do
Uh, 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, and your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake

[Bridge 1]
Come home brother, all is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come home brother, everything is better
Everything is better when you come home and stay

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

[Bridge 1]
Come home brother, all is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come home 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 want to do
Whatever's more important to be (It's a fine line)
That's the thing 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

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
