The Border of the Heart [Verse 1] On a dusty road, gunfire echoes far away The border between you and me is engulfed in flames When the truth is veiled by fear We watch each other with eyes that never reach across [Verse 2] But hearts know no walls Pain tastes the same in every land No tear ever asks for a passport Just hold me close before the night turns cold [Chorus] The border of the heart has no lines in love and kindness Let the war’s dark clouds dissolve in the light of faith Let us speak with the voice of the heart, not the voice of bullets And let tomorrow’s smile be the answer for us all [Verse 3] Loving-kindness… is the bridge we build Compassion… is the hand that guides every path Sympathetic joy… is sharing happiness across the shore Equanimity… is the calm within the raging storm [Chorus (repeat)] The border of the heart has no lines in love and kindness Let the war’s dark clouds dissolve in the light of faith Let us speak with the voice of the heart, not the voice of bullets And let tomorrow’s smile be the answer for us all [Outro] For peace… is not only the silence of guns But the building of a home in the heart… without borders
