No Frontiers
Mary Black Lyrics

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
Life carries us like a river, and our heart serves as a vessel to guide us on this journey.

And just like a water baby, baby born to float
We are all like babies born into this world knowing how to float and survive in the river of life.

And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
Life is unpredictable like a wild wind that can take us in any direction it chooses.

And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Our hearts yearn for the freedom to soar like Amelia Earhart, defying the limits of the world.

Heaven knows no frontiers
The idea of heaven transcends all boundaries and restrictions of the physical world.

And I've seen heaven in your eyes
The person whom the singer is addressing embodies the spirit and essence of heaven within them.

If life is a bar room in which we must wait
Life can feel like a waiting room with endless possibilities, where we must be patient until our turn comes.

'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
We wait around for the person in charge, hoping they will grant us entry into a better life.

Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
In the waiting room of life, we have no choice but to confront our fears and examine our destiny until the morning comes.

And we stack all the deadmen in self addressed crates
We come to terms with the mortality of life and prepare ourselves for the end by packing ourselves away in self-imposed isolation.

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
The person's eyes being described are delicate and gentle like the singing of a bird, conveying a feeling of hope and optimism.

That somehow this black night
The darkness of the night can be lifted by the presence of this person, who brings light and warmth to the world.

Feels warmer for the spark
Their presence ignites a spark within us that makes the night feel less cold and lonely.

To hold us 'til the day
Their presence offers us comfort and support until the time when we must face our fears and challenges alone.

When fear will lose its grip
There will come a time when fear no longer has power over us, and we will be free to live our lives with courage and confidence.

And heaven has its way
When we shed our fears and limitations, we open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities of heaven on earth.

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
If our lives are filled with difficulty and pain, like a bed of thorns and nails.

And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
And our spirit feels trapped and oppressed by the cruel and unfair ways of the world.

Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
When we crave justice and righteousness to right the wrongs of the world.

Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
Our hearts become a bright light in the darkness of the world, fueled by our desire to make things right and just for all.

When all will harmonise
A time will come when all things will be in sync and harmonious.

And know it's in our hearts
We will realize that this harmony is born from within our own hearts and souls.

The dream will realise
Our dreams of a better world will become a reality.
