A Piece of Plastic

Standing at the rear of the ferry
My eyes filled up with tears
While the city lights disappear
I know it's the time to leave

Thinking about the people whose lives
Have stopped there at the fence
And I wonder if we just left one smile
And maybe a kind of believe

The only difference
Between them and me
Is a piece of plastic
With my name printed on it
And the country where I live

And I know
I'd do anything
To show them
That we care
So won't you share
This song and write it on

Thinking 'bout the people
We met there spending their hearts
To those who lost it all
Living their lives on fields in tents

Soup & Socks, Team Banana,
Barry and the IHA
We'll never forget what you do
And we want the world to know

The only difference
Between them and us
Is a piece of plastic
With our names printed on it
And the country where we live

And I know
We'd do anything
To show them
That we care
So won't you share

This song and write it on
This song and write it on
This song and write it on
This song and write it on

And I'll go there
In every dream
And I know
That they can feel
There are human beings
Who fight for them
And who'll join me
In this song

So I'm standing
At the rear of the ferry
My eyes filled up with tears
And the city lights disappear
