There's a guard on the lonely border post staring out at the west His closest companion strapped to his chest. He's contemplating the greatest fear, the fear of letting go But if you never try, you never realise, you never know.
And he's staring at the wire in the face of a new life, Weighing up the risk factors of his family and his wife.
Oh oh oh There must be some kind of hope Way across the border. There is a land that I can hope way across the border.
His daughter lies in bed at night, her head filled with childhood dreams. She's romancing on the far off lands, she may never see.
But she spared the disappointment of when her scorched feet touch the earth, But what she don't realize is over here they treat the foreigners like dirt.
I'm telling you There must be some kind of hope Way across the border. There is a land that I can hope way across the border.
There must be some kind of hope Way across the border. Hey, way across the border. Hey, way across the border.
(solo)
And he's staring at the wire in the face of a new life, Weighing up the risk factors of his family and his wife.
There must be some kind of hope Way across the border. There is a land that I can hope way across the border.
There must be some kind of hope. Oh there must be some kind of hope. Oh there must be some kind of hope. There must be some kind of hope.
There must be some kind of hope Way across the border. There is a land that I can hope way across the border.
Hey, way across the border. Hey, way across the border. Hey, way across the border.
