Every Border Sings My Name

Verse

Dust on my sandals, copper sky at the seam

Fourteen stamps in a passport, stitched into a dream

Market drums calling, cinnamon in the air

Every stranger's face like a cousin I forgot was there

Pre-Chorus

So who drew these lines in the sand

Between my two feet and my hand

Tell me why should a river or wall

Ever hold a heartbeat at all

Chorus

Every border sings my name

Every border sings my name

Barefoot on the broken lanes

We are dancing anyway

Fences turn to tambourines

Every border sings my name

Verse

Bells from the chapel, tin roofs down the hill

A grandmother's laughter that no visa can kill

Salt wind from the harbor, mixing with the drum

Different tongues, same rhythm, we all come from where we come

Pre-Chorus

So who drew these lines in the sand

Between my two feet and my hand

Tell me why should a river or wall

Ever hold a heartbeat at all

Chorus

Every border sings my name

Every border sings my name

Barefoot on the broken lanes

We are dancing anyway

Fences turn to tambourines

Every border sings my name

Bridge

I lost my father's language, found it in this song

Lost a little piece of home in every place I've gone

But tonight the whole horizon opens up like a door

And I don't need a map to know I've been here before

Chorus

Every border sings my name

Every border sings my name

Barefoot on the broken lanes

We are dancing anyway

Fences turn to tambourines

Every border sings my name

Every border sings my name
