Refugees |
| We are lost |
| We are homeless |
| Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea |
| When we left here |
| We gave up all we owned |
| Chased by the devil that stole our homes |
| And we may never see |
| The beauty of our land again |
| No backward glance |
| No history, no home, no claim |
| Only shame |
| We are old |
| We are many |
| Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat |
| We seek food |
| We seek shelter |
| We seek arms around us to give us hope |
| But we may never find |
| A welcome on your foreign shore |
| We know the odds are stacked against |
| The coloured, sick, the weak and poor |
| We could be you |
| We share the same blood |
| So why’s our fate so different in this human flood? |
| So you chase us |
| You despise us |
| Divide us up with your looks and your shallow words |
| So we survive in limbo |
| Or come to you illegally |
| We may share the soil |
| But we will never be unchained and free |
| And when we disappear |
| You’ll never get to see us flee |
| They will hide us from you |
| Say it’s for your liberty |
| Your sanity |
| We are lost |
| We are homeless |
| Homeless |
| Hopeless |
