Mr. Mister - The Border Lyrics






We, we must go on now, wherever people go who go on together
And now, try to hold on now, too many of us have run, run out of the circle

Can you hear me, are you breathing
I need you near me, no I'm not leaving
I'm in no hurry to do this alone

I am standing here with my arms open wide
I am waiting here, heart in my hand on the border

Dreams, dreams may seduce you
But sooner or later they're gone and you're back where you started
Oh look, look at these scars now
How many wounds does it take before we are healing

Can we go on now, from what we have done now
Yes we must go on, our questions unanswered
I know what we're after is right here in our hands

[Chorus:]
I am standing here with my arms open wide
I keep waiting here, heart in my hand on the border
And every step we take gives us the strength to go on
And all the love we make gets us closer to home

I can see it all so clearly now, I can hear your voice in a song
And it burns down inside my soul, it takes me down this winding road
We can find our way back home

We, we must go on now, wherever people go who go on together

[Chorus]

Oh, standing here with my arms open wide
And I keep waiting here, on the borderline
And every step we take gives us the strength to go on
And all the love we make gets us closer to home

    Just beautiful. I wish I had a man with this much talent but until then I will love & admire men who r creative & vocally talented. It's my blessing from God & speaks to my broken heart. Ty 4 uploading

  11. E.... M....

    People are slowly but surly rediscovering Mr. Mister. They were phenomenal, excellent musicians and, Richard Page's voice is special, one of a kind, beautiful, and he sings with such intensity and emotion.

  12. S.... L....

    Old good song! ❤️

  13. f.... s....

  15. T.... t....

    Best album and lyrically so deep and awesome.

  16. D.... J....

    Richard Page and Steve George we're used as back up singers for just about everyone.

  17. Z.... B....

    Masterpiece!

  18. m.... L....

    Always reminds me of Steve and Kayla on "Days"

  19. G.... S....

  22. �.... ....

    When I was a high school student.
    I always listened Mr mister's song.
    Now I still love Mr mister.

    �.... ....

    おらも聴いてます

  23. B.... 2....

    この歌のような人間になりたい。

  24. M.... F....

    Legends. Legends.

  26. S.... A....

  28. S.... A....

    l love this song.

  29. D.... ....

    this song means so much to me. It's so beautiful.

  30. M.... M....

    This album was perhaps even better than their breakthrough, "Welcome to the Real World." Sadly this gorgeous song and video were somehow too sophisticated and barely got played. I had on old VCR dub that I wore out...Thank you for sharing it here in such high quality.

    M.... M....

    +Matthew M. Vacca Yes, Go On was fabulous¡¡

  31. T.... J....

    I never knew this video even existed. I LOVE this song!

    T.... J....

    richard page = soul voice

  32. L.... S....

    This is such a moving song that for me represents that bridge we have to cross at some point in our lives.

  33. s.... ....

    Steve Farris and that excellent guitar solo!

  34. R.... N....

    Brilliance never gets the attention of pop culture mediocrity. This Mr. Mister album is a masterpiece, compositionally, lyrically and musically. It will never receive it's due, except from those with whom it resonated so deeply. At least "Kyrie" and "Broken Wings" made their mark. I certainly wish this would have done the same.

    R.... N....

    Always knew Broken Wings, just discovered Kyrie is by them. Is it Love is also great. Can you help me? - do you know any quantum physicists who know how to manipulate time/space? I have a basic working knowledge only - I want to return to the 1980s. I just need the mathematics sorted!

    R.... N....

    Randy Nelson broken wings is my jam

  35. k.... ....

    One of my MOST favorite songs of all time.  Touching, profound, real.  I never get tired of hearing this tune :)

    k.... ....

    Totally agree! Love this song!

  36. M.... M....

    A beautiful song.  

  37. 7.... ....

    Check out his first band with Steve George called Pages-they made three LP's 1978,1979 and 1981-an amazingly talented band

  38. h.... h....

    Ace tune. Richard Page you are a God.. :-)

  39. h.... h....

    Epic tune.. Richard Page is a God .....

  40. T.... S....

    2 people are still waiting at the border line!

  41. J.... T....

    this would be my song for my wedding

  42. D.... A....

    That would be "Power over me". I used to be a good typer! ;)

  43. D.... A....

    "Go On" is still one of the best projects I've ever heard. How ironic that it's downfall was that it had TOO much talent in a world dominated (then) by Madonna (1987). "Power of Me" still gives me goose bumps. It's getting harder to find these types of musicians. Thanks for posting this. I had never seen this video....

  44. c.... r....

    Very Beautiful and moving song......The lyrics are and music are just great. This is a very moving song. Steve Farris is an all time great guitar player and Richard is a very talented and gifted singer. Boy does he have a set of vocals on him. I truly love the piano player and drummer.. This album and song brings back some great memories.. So very sorry they broke up. But I tip my hat to Mr. Mister.........You will always go down in history in my book...

  45. F.... B....

    Every time when I travel by plane I play this song during take-off. Best experience ever!!!
    Try to time it so that Richard starts singing during lift off.

  46. E.... W....

    Great band. Still my favorite Mr. Mister song.

  47. f.... ....

    Such a delightful song and lyrics.

  48. M.... ....

    i feel it its really nice, tnx for the memories

  49. T.... G....

    Perhaps the most underrated album of all time. Amazing depth in the songwriting and musicianship.

  50. R.... Q....

    Hermosa

  51. s.... ....

    Fretless bass with a little chorus... Such a great sound!

  52. M.... ....

    de puta madre ...mr.mister

    M.... ....

    MrAranibar por que?

  53. L.... ....

    Possibly the most touching lyrics ever. Richard Page is one hell of a singer. Bless him and the gang!

  54. d.... ....

    Never listened thi song before...it seems a Toto tune....and it's incredible to say that Richard Page was contacted by Toto to be the new singer when Bobby Kimball left the band in 1984

  55. G.... P....

    My favourite from Go On....such a beautiful song & the production's nothing short of brilliant (put ya headphones on & crank it up!)....25 years ago & still sounds like it was today!
    I hope one day we can buy a dvd/s of Mr Mister stuff.
    Cheers from Australia

  56. J.... P....

    I only wish It had not taken 25 years for me to "hear" again. Praise God.

  57. o.... ....

    God! I loved this song so much. It's a special kind of love when you're 13.

  58. k.... ....

    I'm in love with this song... It's just perfect! So beautiful! I still have this record! Mr. Mister must be recognize as one of the best bands of the 80's... Richard's voice is unique!

  59. M.... ....

    A pesar de los años Mr.Mister siempre lo mejor
    que vivan los años 80s años maravillosos
    recordar es vivir..!!
    pisco is peruvian,

  60. T.... B....

    @Sabin652 You & me both!

  61. S.... ....

    This song is so amazingly beautiful it moves me to tears!! The scene in silhouette near the end of the song (about 4:03) where Richard swims with his arm stretched out to hold the baby treading water touches me so very deeply (it's like a "Daddy's got you, everything's o.k. now" moment)... it is magnificently beautiful beyond mere words! I love Richard & Mr. Mister so very much!!! ;););)
