lyrics

Live like they live
Talk like they talk
Eat what they eat
Wear what they wear

Think what they think
See what they see
Hear what they hear
Feel what they feel

What will you take?
Why do you hate?
We are not safe
Standing firm against the endless tide


Fight to survive
Risking it all
No other choices
Life in two worlds

Dangerous times
Flee for our lives
No good reason
Where is the rhyme

What have we done?
Why do you blame?
Remember once
You were the same

Dreams not allowed
No freedom to move
Borders are up
All the morals just keep falling down

Fight to survive
Risking it all
No other choices
Life in two worlds

People trapped and desperate
Humanity arrested
Fleeing persecution
But don’t worry this is not your child < hold note on child

Sombre incantations with no explanation
Bureaucracy and questions
Abandon hope you can’t enter here < hold note on here

Looking at the white cliffs killing all the false myths
Children on the beaches
Eden is a long way from these shores

Why won’t you help us
Please don’t turn your eyes away
