Left my heart on an island
I didn't know I could part with it
Left my heart in my homeland
I didn't know I could part with it
Left their lives behind them
Fled to find some sanctuary
Ended up in a tent city
And given the name of 'refugee'
You say "not in my country;
I don't want them here"
As you sleep on land that is stolen
Awash in fear
People crossing borders
On foot and with babies
Trying to find a safe place
For their kids to be kids
You say "not in my country;
I don't want them here"
As you sleep on land that is stolen
Awash in fear
Come what may, and so
Come from away, and so
