Hellcome

You are seventeen
You have seen everything
You can tell 1000 stories of pain

You've seen nothing but hate
Life in war is your fate
A situation you can't tolerate
Any longer

Your father was shot by soldiers
Your mother's been raped
While you hid in the wardrobe

They sent you away to break free
Savior of their destiny
To unknown shores to flee
War and poverty

The boat is overcrowded
Floating bodies in the sea
Mothers crying, children dying
It's day-to-day normality

Hellcome to our country
Where the weapons were built
That wage your war
Hellcome to a world of denial

You're a refugee
In the land of the free
Perceived commotions are close
Beside all charity

You found shelter far away
From your home
You realize that you feel safe
But alone

Hellcome to our country
Where the weapons were built
That wage your war
Hellcome to a world of denial
Longing for home
And your friends
And your family

You pray for freedom
And for a better world
You want to break free
Savior of destiny
To unknown shores
To flee war and poverty

You're a refugee
In the land of the free
Perceived commotions are
Close beside all charity
