Borderlands

Out here in these shadowy lands
No other soul to be found 
Where I walk endlessly along the border
And find myself camping alone
Like Jesus must have done 
Maybe this a place even He won’t go
They say if you go too far in you’ll burn up
But I’ve seen some come back across
Somehow changed 
They’ve all become their scars
