Across The Borderline

There's a place where I've been told every street is paved with gold and it's just across the borderline 
And when it's time to take your turn here's a lesson that you must learn 
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
When you reach the broken promised land and every dream slips through your hands 
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind because you've paid the price to come so far 
Just to wind up where you are and you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand reveal a secret no one can define 
The river flows on like a breath  in between our life and death 
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
In the sad darkness today we have to cross this river which calls us further away
But hope remains when pride is gone and it keeps you moving on calling you across the borderline
When you reach the broken promised land every dream slips through your hands 
And you'll know it's too late to change your mind because you pay the price to come so far 
Just to wind up where you are and you're still just across the borderline 
Now you're still just across the borderline and you're still just across the borderline
