Only Child (feat. Petra Acker)
Here I am now still in wonder
All the years passed far from my homeland.
What did I do to deserve this
They stole my life and robbed my family
If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow
If I were the only one sold away by unknown hands
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we're all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
Some have found what they've been missing, others still keep and keep on searching
So many have died in the meantime and I wonder why, oh why
Has it been easy to decide to sell away all those human lives
The poverty they try to erase turned into suffering
Now tell me, what kind of money can buy, the love of your family
If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow
If I were the only one sold away
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we are all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
Hoping longing trying to forget, holding on to what's left of some kind of sanity
Praying without knowing if God still exists, can those scars ever heal
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we are all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
All the years passed far from my homeland.
What did I do to deserve this
They stole my life and robbed my family
If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow
If I were the only one sold away by unknown hands
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we're all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
Some have found what they've been missing, others still keep and keep on searching
So many have died in the meantime and I wonder why, oh why
Has it been easy to decide to sell away all those human lives
The poverty they try to erase turned into suffering
Now tell me, what kind of money can buy, the love of your family
If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow
If I were the only one sold away
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we are all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
Hoping longing trying to forget, holding on to what's left of some kind of sanity
Praying without knowing if God still exists, can those scars ever heal
Why are we treated this way
How come the system knows much better what we need
You'd say we are all the same
But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
