“Crossing Lines”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1: C-G-Am-F)
Underneath the endless sky, where two countries collide,
We found our rhythm in the twilight, with dreams too big to hide.
In this town, both lost and found, we wrote our melody,
Hoping it would echo, beyond the boundary.

(Chorus: Am-G-F-C)
We are crossing lines, chasing the sun,
No borders can hold, what we’ve begun.
In the heart of the night, underneath the stars,
We are crossing lines, right where we are.

(Verse 2: C-G-Am-F)
Our song is sung in whispers, carried by the wind,
A lullaby that lingers, where old tales end and new ones begin.
We’ve got our roots in this ground, but our hearts beat worldwide,
No walls can silence the sound, of freedom personified.

(Chorus: Am-G-F-C)
We are crossing lines, under the moon’s glow,
With every note we play, see our love for music grow.
In the rhythm of the night, strumming these guitars,
We are crossing lines, right where we are.

(Bridge: Am-Em-F-C)
We are more than just a border town band,
Strumming chords and making a stand.
With every beat and every rhyme,
We’re defining our time.

(Chorus: Am-G-F-C)
We are crossing lines, making our own way,
Singing for the souls, who’ve got something to say.
In the heart of the night, we shine like stars,
Crossing lines, right where we are.
