lyrics

Words & music A. McKnight, ©2003 Catalooch Music, BMI

Verse 1
My travels traverse so much shaky ground,
I am broken but unbowed
Push past the boundary lines that I have drawn
endless frontiers all around

I am present in the future and the past
with open hands and open heart
I feel the thunder-drum within my chest
ready now to do my part

Pre-Chorus
I hear sounds of tongues I do not know
and I feel ancient wisdom gathered around me
from Asia and Africa and Appalachian hills
now I know, that I am not alone

Chorus
Beyond borders, beyond our sight, beyond ourselves
Beyond borders, beyond our sight, beyond ourselves

Verse 2
Rain forest clearings and savannah plains
The noon of time, the dawn of man
mystery running through in threads so strong
magic helix, living strand

Verse 3
I leave humble gifts for those to come
the echoes of our human song,
waymakers wait for me beyond the light
when it's my time, where I belong

Chorus
