Lyrics
Love Has No Boundaries
The screen door slams
A ring flies from her hand
Her tears they burn the garden green
He won't be coming home tonight
But still, she leaves on the light
The baby cries herself to sleep
(Bridge)
A war at hand, calls back her man
War of deception, based on greed
An evening flight, takes him to fight
He left, but he will not say goodbye
(Chorus)
Love has no boundaries
You can't make it walk in a straight line
Love has no boundaries
Sink it and it still will rise
A soldier in a foreign land
In the rubble, moves a young boys hand
He takes the hand, the boy is free
Do they even really want him there
Anger, resentment fills the air
But that young boy knows who set him free
(Bridge)
The morning quiet, explodes in fire
Roadside bomb destroys a soldier's dreams
He clings to life, thinks of his wife
When that young boy comes and pulls him safely free
(Chorus)
The screen door slams
He takes his baby back in his hands
Through a father's eyes he now will see
His fight is over in that foreign land
But a different fight is now at hand
Relearn to walk, relearn to feel
(Bridge)
Sleepless nights, dreams of the fights
And his best friend who never made it back at all
Now all is quiet, holds his wife tight
His buddy's tags are over hanging on the wall
(Chorus 2x)
