Cross the Border

Petula Clark


They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way...maybe
The desert will bloom again.
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family,
No strength in me to cry

IT was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through

But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way...maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way....they'll see
That land growing green again

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way....maybe
The desert will bloom again.
