Matriarch
Watch
Watch where you lay
Might be where you stay
For the rest of your days
Dust
Dust fills the lungs
Silencing the loud, the outspoken
Never say 'til it's too late
Birth of a refugee
Perpetuators never pay the price
Of their short term processes
Oh, nowhere to hide
When the air we breathe is murderous
Oh, sleeping child
Lay your head
Close your eyes
Running, running, running fast
Through frozen rivers
Weighted fabric, out of breath
Sirens chanting in the wind
Fear of the unknown
Fades to black
Like a moon behind the clouds
Gunshots fill the air
Commander of silence
Every step taken
So close, so close
To the border's edge
Can you taste the freedom
Child on my breast
For you, for you
For you, for you
It's all for you
Watch where you lay
Might be where you stay
For the rest of your days
Dust
Dust fills the lungs
Silencing the loud, the outspoken
Never say 'til it's too late
Birth of a refugee
Perpetuators never pay the price
Of their short term processes
Oh, nowhere to hide
When the air we breathe is murderous
Oh, sleeping child
Lay your head
Close your eyes
Running, running, running fast
Through frozen rivers
Weighted fabric, out of breath
Sirens chanting in the wind
Fear of the unknown
Fades to black
Like a moon behind the clouds
Gunshots fill the air
Commander of silence
Every step taken
So close, so close
To the border's edge
Can you taste the freedom
Child on my breast
For you, for you
For you, for you
It's all for you
