BORDERS questions if borders and isolation really help humanity or are rather an expression of fear and differentiation. Considering the fact that the Homo sapiens emerged as a sole species in Africa and spread across the entire globe from there, we need to state at least that we all have the same origin. Today many of us live like slaves of their smartphones in small, sealed off systems and know, in spite of the mass of accessible information, less and less about the world. But in the modern “high-tech” world in which everything is connected, problems can only be solved and steps forward can only be made when we break down boundaries. The best example is the fight against global warming which can only be successful through international cooperation. The first part of BORDERS (AWAKENING) describes the spreading of humanity from Africa across the whole globe.
lyrics
From Africa
Mellow cradle of humanity
We've spread out wide
Over mountains vales and the seven seas
No higher court
To direct the leaps forward on and on
Mankind's dawn
We walked along the coastlines
Further east
Woken up
From a dreamless sleep
Word of mouth
And hand in hand
Through an open ended land
Sharing insights commonly
Feeling rescued, feeling free
There was no one who would dare to raise a plea
Reached out freely for the stars
There was so much to yield
All gained on an open field
Sharing insights commonly
Feeling rescued, feeling free
There was no one who would dare to raise a plea
Once it seemed to have no end
But one day something was penned:
It's just one world.
