Borders

[Chorus]
'Cause mom said I'd be crossing borders
Never be afraid even when you're cornered
Stand up straight, fight your way
Fight your way, fight your way

[Verse 1]
All these people here staring and looking at me
Shaking their heads, eyes down strong on me
What's wrong with me? (Can you tell me now?)
What's wrong with me? (Can you tell me, now?)
The anger, the cruelty, I deserve it
And I'd do anything to be what they call perfect
Then maybe I could find a place to call my own and belong
But if only I was strong

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll be walking with my eyes down
Eyes down, eyes down
I'll keep my eyes down
Eyes down, eyes down

[Chorus]
'Cause mom said I'd be crossing borders
Never be afraid even when you're cornered
Stand up straight, fight your way
Fight your way, fight your way

[Post-Chorus]
Through the borders
Through the borders
Through the borders
Fight your way, fight your way
Through the borders
Through the borders
Through the borders
Fight your way, fight your way

[Verse 2]
Stand up, fall down, up again
Up against the pressure I am in
Slowly but surely I begin
Jumping trains 'cause I know I can win
Oh fear not 'cause I know I'm in His hands
Though I can't see, I know there's a plan
So thick the fog, but I know I can trust
The feelings that I feel when the road's rough

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta be tough with my eyes down
Eyes down, eyes down
Strong in my stance with my eyes down
Eyes down, eyes down

[Chorus]
'Cause mom said I'd be crossing borders
Never be afraid even when you're cornered
Stand up straight, fight your way
Fight your way, fight your way

[Post-Chorus]
Through the borders
Through the borders
Through the borders
Fight your way, fight your way
Through the borders
Through the borders
Through the borders
Fight your way, fight your way

[Bridge]
No, I won't play pretend (I can't pretend)
There's so much more up ahead (All that's up ahead)
No, I won't play pretend
There's so much more ahead, yeah!

[Chorus]
Through the borders
Through the borders
Through the borders (I'll cross these borders)
Fight your way, fight your way (You can fight your way)
Through the borders (I will fight these)
Through the borders (Fight through these borders, uh)
Through the borders
Fight your way, fight your way

[Outro]
Through the borders
Through the borders
