Migration |
| We are rising as the sun retreats into the trees |
| We’re thinking of our destination as we start to leave |
| We’re marching to the sea, marching to the sea |
| Marching to the sea, we’re marching to the sea |
| We’re marching to the sea, we’re marching to the sea |
| We’re marching to the sea, we’re marching to the sea |
| We’re marching to the sea, we’re marching to the sea |
| Smiling from the gentle touches of the evening breeze |
| No one is unhappy now and no one is fatigued |
| We’re marching to the sea, marching to the sea |
| I’m a tired old man in a tired old land |
| Watching shadows moving across the sand |
| Now they move at night and I understand |
| That they cannot see more than they can stand |
| I have been decieved, I have murdered and |
| I have seen the soul of an unborn lamb; |
| It can burn a hole in a guilty man |
| But it cannot stand in a distant land |
| Let my children live in a holy land |
| Let my children live in a holy land |
| Let my children live in a holy land |
| Let my children live in a holy land |
| We have left our lives, we have left our land |
| We have left behind all we understand |
| Now we must cry out, yes we must demand |
| Let my children live in a land that’s low |
| Where the holes are deeper than light can go |
| Let them have not pride but instead a soul |
| That can see the shame of the hands that glow |
