lyrics

Refugee's Lament
I’m crossing deserts, I’m crossing mountains, I’m crossing forests, I’m crossing streams
I’m leaving all that is familiar to cross the border of broken dreams
I’m leaving my mother, leaving my father; they insisted they had to stay
I’ll never see them, I’ll never hug them, I’ll never kiss them after today
And I hope we’ll be saved by love, I hope we’ll be saved by love.

There’s so much vengeance, so much brutality, so much fury and so much hate
We were not safe there, we couldn’t stay there, we had to leave there, had to escape
I thought this war was just a skirmish, just a conflict to be policed
But now I wonder which generation will say we finally can live in peace
And I hope we’ll be saved by love, I hope we’ll be saved by love.

I miss my language, my easy lifestyle, the meals we shared, the games we played
I miss the joking, my native clothing, I miss my family and friends who stayed
I dream oppression, greed and violence will forever leave us alone
I dream my children one day can go back, back to the land that I once called home
And I hope we’ll be saved by love, I hope we’ll be saved by love,
I hope we will be saved, and I hope we’ll be saved by love.
