Refugee

Imagine you come from a place torn apart
Just looking for somewhere to make a new start
You're doomed to your fate in these turbulent times
Your land and your loved ones are lost long behind

You wander the world with no home and no hope
And wonder each moment how you'll ever cope
Your life is a desperate fight to exist
You struggle each day just to be

Imagine the life
Imagine the life of a refugee

Imagine your family crammed in a small boat
Adrift on salt water, the world set afloat
The fear that you feel as you sail from that shore
Away from a world that is ravaged by war
You cling to the raft like the threads of your past
And pray that you won't drown at sea

Imagine the life
Imagine the life of a refugee

А я иду по неизведанной дороге
Куда же мне идти, куда же мне бежать
Откуда ж мне искать подмоги? Я иду по дороге
Горизонты темны и пусты
О Боже, о Боже, о Божe

So you want your red rivers of blood
You want to see streams in the gutter
Seeds of hatred and death
That you sow with each breath
The bile that spews forth
With the lies that you utter

And can you imagine the suffering you cause
From your places of power, you mongers of war
How can this not haunt you when you go to sleep
How can you still live with the suffering you wreak

And can you imagine how hard it must be
Can you not sympathise, have you no empathy
Are you not a human with the humanity
To imagine the life of a refugee
