Mare Nostrum

Is this the place?
The place you told we would find peace
Some comfort and the smile we miss
Europe you said

Is this the place?
Why is it so wet and cold?
Where is your hand for me to hold?
It doesn't look so wise and old...

Is this the place?
The place you told me we would find bliss
The bed to wait your goodnight kiss
A dreamland you said

Is this the place?
The place we would find new dreams
But why can't I breathe or hear their screams
You should have told me what Europe means

You should have told me
You should have told me
You should have told me
You should have told me

You should have told me about the home I found
All of this water and no land around
About the cradle they could not drain
All of those tears turning into rain

You should have told me about the sea I found
Mediterranean becoming a death ground
About the moon and stars we would pray at night
Begging for strength to live and stop this fight

You should have told me
You should have told me
You should have told me
You should have told me

You should have told me about the fish I found
Taking me down to show me his place around
All of this bodies oh I do have the doubt
Is this the Europe that you told me about?

Is this Europe? You should have told me
Is this Europe? You should have told me
Is this Europe? You should have told me
Is this Europe? You should have told me
