‘Without Borders’

Tali Angh

Why romanticise the heaviness and brokenness of our past? Looking up to the sky, are we wondering where do we go from here and now? One by one we come to the altar of the Merciful One We're arriving home now Hope is rising up and we're waking up to see a new day We've found where we belong I see a Nation rising from a hope And it's without borders I hear the sound, sound like the rain It's a song of redemption We stand without borders, without borders Once again I hear from the city streets the aughter of the old and young I see the warriors rising up and breaking down these old walls of fear with love One by one we come to altar of the Merciful One We're arriving home now Hope is rising up and we're waking up to see a new day We've found where we belong We're the sons and daughters of the Almighty One We're the royals singing freedom song Love will find a way Love will fight for us Love won't fail We stand without borders, without borders.

This is the lyrics of the song originally written and composed by Tali Angh which was performed at the 1st Naga Day held at Khuochiezie local ground, Kohima on January 10, 2018 under the aegis of Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR).
