John Mark McMillan - Borderland lyrics
[John Mark McMillan - Borderland lyrics]
Living in a borderland
I don't feel like a boy I
Don't feel like a man
And the things I don't understand
Things like love like the law
The law of the jungle
Aren't we all animals
Aren't we all animals sharpening
Our teeth and claws
Stocking up on cannon balls
Living like nobody knows they can't hold on
To love and live by the law
Law of the jungle
Help me holy Jesus
Won't You show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table
I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me holy Lord
I see the light of Heaven's porch
But so many of us are born
Here outside Your chain link fence
Living in a borderland
You got to fend for yourself
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in a borderland
You got to take what you get
You got to get what you can
Aren't we all dangerous
Aren't we all dangerous, lost boys showing up
Pockets full of fairy dust
Suffering the wanderlust
They all get crushed
Without love by the law
The law of the jungle
Help me holy Jesus
Won't You show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table
I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me holy Lord
I see the light of Heaven's porch
But so many of us are born
Here outside Your chain link fence
Living in a borderland
You got to fend for yourself
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in a borderland
You got to take what you get
You got to get what you can
You can't hold on can't hold on to love
You can't hold on
You can't hold on and live by the law
(By the law, by the law)
I don't feel like a boy I
Don't feel like a man
And the things I don't understand
Things like love like the law
The law of the jungle
Aren't we all animals
Aren't we all animals sharpening
Our teeth and claws
Stocking up on cannon balls
Living like nobody knows they can't hold on
To love and live by the law
Law of the jungle
Help me holy Jesus
Won't You show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table
I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me holy Lord
I see the light of Heaven's porch
But so many of us are born
Here outside Your chain link fence
Living in a borderland
You got to fend for yourself
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in a borderland
You got to take what you get
You got to get what you can
Aren't we all dangerous
Aren't we all dangerous, lost boys showing up
Pockets full of fairy dust
Suffering the wanderlust
They all get crushed
Without love by the law
The law of the jungle
Help me holy Jesus
Won't You show me how to live?
I've got monsters at my table
I've got Bibles bent like shivs
Help me holy Lord
I see the light of Heaven's porch
But so many of us are born
Here outside Your chain link fence
Living in a borderland
You got to fend for yourself
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in a borderland
You got to take what you get
You got to get what you can
You can't hold on can't hold on to love
You can't hold on
You can't hold on and live by the law
(By the law, by the law)
