Across the border Lyrics

Grey concrete floor

You're losing track of time

You can't say a word

Swallow the tears they didn't let you cry

Can you hear me

Calling you from across the border

At night, I sit by your bed

Breathing your linen

Sending strength your way

Hold tight

It's almost over

We are praying, fighting for you

Open arms are waiting

Ready for your return

To give you a long hug

Until you heal

Until you're strong

Grey concrete walls

Deep somewhere underground

Open wounds

There must be light at the end of this war

Close your eyes

A whole nation is aching, singing for you

Life is not the same

You're still not here, and the world is turning away

Hold tight

It's almost over

We are praying, fighting for you

Open arms are waiting

Ready for your return

To give you a long hug

Until you heal

Until you're strong
