Album: The Irish Connection (2013)

No Frontiers

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark to hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip and heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark to hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way, and heaven has its way

When all will harmonize and know it's in our hearts
The dream will realize heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
