Borderlines - Sights & Sounds

Newborn cries

Mother’s worn out

And held up a thousand km away

He’s filling out blank forms

Only way

This system’s failing

Its side effects won’t let this bond unfold

His light will grow but moving slow

What a process

Here these payments go

And he only want to know what it feels

To touch and to hold

Let the earth split with this tide

Open up these borderlines!

Unfold right now

We’ll see how it plays out

He’s lined up in embassies

Just ride it out

Pick a number

Hold it patiently

There’s a way out

Just a number is it all they see?

Unforgiving foreign policy

A country’s unforgiving policy

With their margins making it harder to see

Narrow margins making it harder to see
