I've been walking a while now
On this well-rutted road
Lost the keys to the kingdom
And the mat to my home
Lord knows I have faltered
Lord knows what I've lost
Bled out on the altar
Trying to cover the cost
The borders are open
The gates are flung wide
All of God's children
Are welcomed inside
So carry on little soldier
With your marching refrain
Through the blistering summer
And the chill of the rain
And you don't have to be lovely
To be loved and belong
'Cause I see Heaven above me
And I can hear angels singing this song
The borders are open
The gates are flung wide
All of God's children
Are welcomed inside
Give up your goodness
And murder your pride
All of God's children
Are welcomed inside
And I don't want to run anymore
I don't want to hide while you
Knock at my door
I can feel the changes coming
Deep in my core
And I don't want to run anymore
My borders are open
My gates are flung wide
The power of Heaven
Is welcomed inside
I give up my goodness
The things I have tried
My borders are open
My gates are flung wide
