Borders Fade Away - 2024 Remaster

Beneath the stars that know no bounds
Where the desert winds have grown
In the dusty streets of distant lands where children dream alone
Traces of the past linger in the hearts of old and young
Divisions rise like desert storms in every song unsung

Oh my brother can you hear the call across the endless sand
Our souls are bound by ancient ties forged by loves own hand
Let the borders fade away in the light of a brand new day
For in the heart of every man the same suns golden ray

In the markets of Mumbai where the scents of spice entwine
Stories told in whispers soft in the shimmer of the sky
In the cafes of São Paulo where the young hearts beat as one
Dreams of unity take flight beneath the setting sun

Oh my sister can you see the dawn breaking through the night
In every shadow in every face there shines a common light
Let the borders fade away in the light of a brand new day
For in the heart of every soul the same dreams gently sway

From the vast Sahara's dunes to the Nile's fertile flow
We sing of hope and brotherhood setting the world aglow
Through the tears and through the strife in the dance of life we stay
With the faith that binds our hearts we'll find a brighter way

In the streets of New Orleans where the jazz notes softly blow
The echoes of our history in every song we know
In the heart of Kingston where reggae's pulse is sweet
We weave the threads of peace and love in every step we greet

Oh my people can you feel the pulse of a world that's one
In the beat of every drum in the warmth of the sun
Let the borders fade away in the light of a brand new day
For in the heart of humankind the same blood runs

In the end we find our way through the night and through the pain
In the unity of hearts in the falling of the rain
Let the borders fade away in the light of a brand new day
For in the soul of every one love's eternal refrain
