Lyrics Borderlines - Sights & Sounds

Borderlines

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
