Chorus 
          A  
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth
Where every son and daughter will know their worth
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy
                               A         A  
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth


Verse 
Am              G       F                            Em     Dm
Oh, the wars we haven't won, oh, the songs we've left unsung
                    Em    F            G     F
Oh, the dreams we haven't seen, on the borderlines


Verse 
            Am                     G         F
And here we are between all of our hopes and fear
                   Em    Dm
Chasing down these stolen years
                   Em     F            G    F
Reaching out for things unseen on the borderlines
    G     F
The borderlines


Chorus 
          Am                   G            Am
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth
                                   G          F
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
                                      G       C
Where all the streets resound with thunderous joy
                                 G           Am
Oh, how I long for heaven in a place called earth


Verse 
Am               G      F                        Em       Dm
Jesus name still on her tongue, questions buried in her lungs
              Em     F            G     F         G     F
Oh my Father, why my son, on the borderlines, the borderlines

Verse 
         Am
I had a dream that I finally saw your face
                G        F
Dancing in the arms of grace
                    Em       F
Dancing through the joys and pains
        G     F          G    F
On the borderlines, the borderlines
