The frontier is closed 
 
The frontier is closed 
So are my dreams for myself and others  
When the fear and inspiration call 
I see my pain depart 
With those still walking. 
 
The brilliance of the moon 
A silent promise 
That gives me hope 
All through my days 
Anchored in faith 
Optimistic and preserving. 
 
The frontier makes a new path 
For those who are brave enough to follow it 
With tears and heartbreak 
Though blood marks its edges 
For those behind the line. 
 
When leaders are failing us 
We count on community 
Offering care and protection  
In a home of refugees  
Still the frontier remains closed. 
 
The frontier is closed 
You slowly fall in the darkness 
We will walk together in a transformative process 
Where our sorrows meet  joy 
Wishing for freedom  
Perhaps humanitarian hospitality. 
 
The frontier is closed  
Our language can not be a barrier 
Our hearts should speak  
Communicating deeply and truly 
Creating a bridge  
To deliver a message 
That our words bring power. 
  
 
 
When I spread my wings 
The monarch butterfly follows me 
Remind me they been through storms 
And still, flying with resilience 
My suffering, day and night 
The pain is not forever 
We must find another horizon. 
 
The frontier is closed 
The journey is not over 
Where everyone is united hand in hand 
We will walk together, we will rise 
Helping all grow and survive,  
When doors open once again,
