The Border Line

I've been away so long
And Father, I
Don't know where I have gone
The tide brought me here
I called it home
A place I'd never known
It seems I'm caught between
Moving plates
Beneath my feet

I can see beyond
The wall that's standing in the way
You are waiting on the other side
After all I built it with
My very own hands, can't you tell?
So why is it so hard for me
To take down?

I was born on the border line
And thoughts raced through my mind
Atoms escape in the middle of the night
And my heart and head collide
I was born on a border line
On the great divide

Been away so long
And Mother, I
Don't know where time has gone
The wind brought me here
I call it home
A place I'd never known

I can see beyond the wall
I hear a distant call
You are waiting on the other side
After all I built it with
My very own hands, can't you tell?
So why is it so hard for me
To take down?

I was born on a border line
And thoughts raced through my mind
Atoms escape in the middle of the night
And my heart and head collide
I was born on a border line
On the great divide

I can see beyond the wall
I hear a distant call
You are waiting on the other side

I was born on a border line
And thoughts raced through my mind
Atoms escape in the middle of the night
And my heart and head collide

I was born on a border line
And thoughts raced through my mind
Atoms escape in the middle of the night
And my heart and head collide
I was born on a border line
On the great divide
