Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Where every son and daughter will know their worth Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Oh, the wars we haven't won Oh, the songs we've left unsung Oh, the dreams we haven't seen The borderlines And here we are between all of our hopes and fear Chasing down these stolen years Reaching out for hands unseen On the borderline, the borderline Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Where every son and daughter would know their worth Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Jesus name still on her tongue Questions buried in her lungs: Oh my Father, why my son? On the borderlines, the borderlines Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Where every son and daughter will know their worth Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy 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 Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Where every son and daughter will know their worth Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth
