No Borders
The Mick Fleetwood Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He is standing, though his streets are torn and broken
Unafraid of consequence, and unaware of fear
He is longing, and waiting for his moment
Filled with faith and confidence, victory is near

And he is strong
And he is proud
And there is nothing that can turn his heart around

One day, there will be no borders
No boundaries, no flags, and no countries
One day, when every war is over
The only passport will be the heart

We are standing
At the edge of our existence
With every single heartbeat, we all must realize

It's in our hands, now, and we can bridge the distance
And rise above the darkness, and open up our eyes

'Cause we are strong
And we are proud
And nothing in this world could ever keep us down
One day, there will be no borders
No boundaries, no flags, and no countries
One day, when every war is over
The only passport will be the heart...

And these walls we have tried to maintain
Can no longer hold the spirits
They were made to contain

One day, there will be no borders
No boundaries, no flags, and no countries




One day, when every war is over
The only passport will be the heart
