Crossing (Nancie Tief)

We reached the border, met the guard
Nervous laughter as she eyed the car
Here with a foot on each side of the dividing line
We’re just your nosy neighbors, won’t you let us in?
Or are you afraid of our original sin?

Look up and see the sky

They reached the checkpoint, met the guard
No one laughed, they’d come much too far
Running from hunger, evil and death
“give us a chance” is their one request

Look up and see the sky
The earth quivers below
Shaking beneath the weight of tyrants
There are no borders in the sky

I see the fear in your eyes and the hurt in your heart
They knocked down your towers and tore you apart
Then ripped up my country and sullied my name
I’m begging for help – that’s the reason I came
I promise we’re good neighbors, won’t you let us in?
Or are you afraid of our original sin?

Look up and see the sky
The earth quivers below
Shaking beneath the weight of tyrants
There are no borders in the sky
