Lyrics Save Our Souls - Clawfinger

Save Our Souls

Pardon my French, but it`s all Greek to me
When an innocent child is allowed to drown out at sea
Our flags are just fiction, our borders just air
So regardless of roots you can`t tell me that you don`t care
Because I know for a fact that when it`s at your front door
When it`s your youngest child that you see washed ashore
When the bombs are in your backyard and you`re under attack
When the victim is you, you`ll be the first to react
Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell
We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
There’s no reason we should doubt it
So if we let them in, and then force them back
And build a big fucking wall, what kind of signal is that
(We care a lot!) but we don`t, because we don`t want to lose
The benefits that we have, because we`ve all paid our dues
When it makes the news and you`re safe in your own home
It`s so easy to care, in your own comfort zone
So we take what we get, like a natural fact
But we don`t seem to care enough to give something back
Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell
We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
There’s no reason we should doubt it
The truth is so plain despite our different names
Cause at the end of the day we`re all really the same
Our skin colors may vary, our religion as well
But we all want forgiveness, from heaven or hell
Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell
We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell
We don`t do a thing about it
Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope
We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope
There’s no reason we should doubt it
