Bm A G
Oh, the wars we haven't won
G F#m7 Em
Oh, the songs we've left unsung
Em F#m7 G
Oh, the dreams we haven't seen
F#m7 G
The borderlines
Bm A G
And here we are between all of our hopes and fear
G F#m7 Em
Chasing down these stolen years
Em F#m7 G
Reaching out for hands unseen
F#m7 G F#m7 G
On the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus]
Bm A Bm
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth
Bm F#m7 Em
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Em A D
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy
D A Bm
Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth
[Verse 2]
Bm A G
Jesus name still on her tongue
G F#m7 Em
Questions buried in her lungs:
Em F#m7 G
“Oh my father, why my son?”
F#m7 G F#m7 G
on the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus]
Bm A Bm
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth
Bm F#m7 Em
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Em A D
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy
D A Bm
Oh how I long for heaven in a place called earth

I had a dream that I finally saw your face

Dancing in the arms of grace

Dancing through the joy and pain

On the borderlines, the borderlines
