Anderson, Jon - Boundaries Lyrics
O'r the green mountains and
O'r the green valleys
I've walked through the country
And felt me an age
A people so strong
The boundaries that hold them
Children can sing of
The coming of Spring
A young man can't defend
What he knows to be wrong
Women so strong
Needing peace for so long
The homelands lay broken
A long lonely road
As the weak will die off
Make the young people old
To redeem a whole country
For selling its soul
To the bastions of war
So the refugee walks such
A long lonely road
As the weak will die off
Make the young people old
To redeem a whole country
For selling its soul
To the bastions of war
Weep a fresh tear for the mass graves
I fear won't be long
As the young perish fast the land
Wiping the tears from the young
Gifted years, the millions lay down
O'r the green mountains and
O'r the green valleys
I've walked through the country
And felt me an age
A people so strong
They resist for so long
The boundaries that hold them

Two thumbs up to Jon Anderson 👍👍
this song is really belongs to Syria and iraq
Or Palestine
beautiful ,very beautiful...thanks for uploading this masterpiece...the notes..the lyrics.the arrangement...perfecto ! whenever i hear or morever play it with guitar...tears drops easily...! thanks jon !
fantastic video with lyrics, it's rare~ And it would be appreciated if you can upload more Jon's music videos like this~ Cheers~
You are talking relatively recent Yes...now Fragile and Close to the Edge, that was defining moment
Loved (still love) this whole album. This is a great anti-war folk tune
This sounds just like ""Oe'r "
This song was my mantra during the cruise missile testing here in Alberta! This is the universal cry for Peace!
Really one of Jon's best, he sings this with everything he's got....prophetic - "the mass graves, I fear won't be long". There is great evil rising, but a opposite and equal reaction as the divine ones ascend, in my opinion. 12 string guitar, sounds like, plus more.
nice one... is he the singer from YES... still remember the song Owner of a lonely heart.

such a wonderful and relevant song nowadays were many people are so fond of fences, boundaries and divisions. Where some would think they have the power to decide on the lives and fate of others. where some are too fond of establishing dominion over vast lands while others are left with none. when God created the world, he never named the lands exclusively to some, thus there should be no refugees, God made the world for all men.
no one can sing like him. Great video too. thanks for sharing.
