John Mark McMillan - Borderland Lyrics
Living in the borderlandI don’t feel like a boy, I don’t feel like a manIn the things I don’t understandThings like love, like the lawLike the law of the jungleAre we all animalsAre we all animals sharpeningOur teeth and clawsStocking up on cannonballsLiving like nobody knowsThey can’t hold on to loveAnd live by the law, the law of the jungleHelp me Holy JesusWon’t you show me how to liveI’ve got monsters at my tableI’ve got Bibles bent like shivsHelp me Holy LordI see the light of heaven’s porchBut so many of us are born hereOutside your chain link fenceLiving in the borderlandYou gotta fend for yourself,Let the dogs eat the other manLiving in the borderlandYou gotta take what you get,Gotta get what you canAre we all dangerousAre we all dangerous lost boys shoring upPockets full of fairy dustSuffering the wanderlustThey all get crushed without loveBy the law, the law of the jungleLiving in the borderlandAre you going to fight like a boy,Gonna run like a manLiving in the borderlandGotta take what you get,Gotta get what you canBut you can’t hold onCan’t hold on to loveYou can’t hold onYou can’t hold on and liveBy the Law
