Over the border, it’s a whole other land
Where the sun is always shining, and the grass is always green
No longer are they bound by rules or expectations
No longer are they trapped in a land bound to violence
The people there, they come from far and wide
Bringing with them stories, and dreams they hope to realise
And though their past may hold pain
The future is bright over the border.
The journey to get there, it was not an easy one
Over mountains and rivers, through heat and cold
But every step they took, every challenge they faced
Brought them closer to a place they could finally reach
And when they crossed that border, the weight would be lifted
For they would know knew they were part of something grand,
something that never could expire
They would be free, free to be themselves, to make their own destiny
And though the road ahead would be long and dark, that is where their story would be
Well,
That is what they were told,
Before they arrived.
But they were met with uncertain deadlines,
And empty promises.
Hearing of freedom, time after time.
