"Get Ready To Cross The Border"

Night is falling silently around the dying trees
In an hour, the world will turn pitch black While my eyes are still able to feel the shape of you
I am getting ready to cross the border

In the nests, baby birds imagine themselves assimilating with the wind
On a rock, a coyote changes his body with the moon Would I be able to make myself understand that each one of us is a universe?
I am getting ready to cross the border Today, on this very night

I saw a soldier holding a rifle in front of a barbed-wire fence
What the soldier is protecting, is the feeling of fear that might destroy him if he fails to follow military orders
There is no such thing as a nation
All there is, is the fantasy that one creates towards another
I am getting ready to cross the border

In the water, water makes an image of flowing through the river
On the rock, a lizard is dreaming of 100 million years away
While my eyes are still able to feel the shape of you
I am getting ready to cross the border Today, on this very night
