Lyrics Borderland: Stabal Session - Live - John Mark McMillan

Living in the borderland
I don't feel like a boy, I don't feel like a man
In the things I don't understand
Things like love, like the law
Like the law of the jungle

Are we all animals
Are we all animals sharpening
Are we all animals sharpening
Stocking up on cannonballs
Living like nobody knows
They can't hold on to love
They can't hold on to love
Help me Holy Jesus

Help me Holy Jesus
Won't you show me how to live
I've got monsters at my table
I've got Bibles bent like shivs
I see the light of heaven's porch
But so many of us are born here
I see the light of heaven's porch

But so many of us are born here
Outside your chain link fence
Let the dogs eat the other man
Living in the borderland
You gotta take what you get,
Gotta get what you can
Are we all dangerous
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up
Pockets full of fairy dust

Are we all dangerous
They all get crushed
Without love
By the law,
They all get crushed without love
By the law, the law of the jungle
Living in the borderland
Gotta take what you get,
Gotta get what you can
But you can't hold on
To love

Gotta take what you get,
You can't hold on
But you can't hold on
Can't hold on to love
You can't hold on
You can't hold on and live
