Border Song Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MattBianco 

Cover art for Border Song lyrics by Elton John

"Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease There's a man over there What's his colour I don't care He's my brother let us live in peace"

Above makes it difficult to speculate much about the meaning, even if the earlier versus are ambiguous. The end is quite clear.

And if the environment around you is "poisoned" by bigotry, and you feel "deceived" by political "winds" blowing the wrong way, then you too will "have to leave" to where "people" may not be your "kind", but "your affairs are not abused".
