Land of War

Where have you enclosed me
How long will this last
What should I prove to you
Who do you think you are

I was born in the Middle East
Raised by a loving mom
I was a happy child
I used to play, I used to run
My father worked very hard
To make my dreams come true
I saved a million lives
They didn't need to ask me who I was

The color of my skin
The God I believe in
They've never hurt a single human being
They've always been a part of me
Give me a reason why it shouldn't be like this

Where have you enclosed me
How long will this last
What should I prove to you
Who do you think you are

I'm a prisoner
You're a prisoner

I was born in a land of war
I tried to stay and help
My children and wife escaped
To somewhere safe in the north
Eventually I had to leave
So I set sail on a boat
It was likely I would die
But I just missed my family

I want to spend my days with them
Watch the kids grow older
And feel the comfort of my woman's arms
All I ask is to be free
Give me a reason why it shouldn't be like this

Where have you enclosed me
How long will this last
What should I prove to you
Who do you think you are

I'm a prisoner
You're a prisoner

We are prisoners
We are prisoners
We are prisoners
We are prisoners

Now that you know
My identity
Who do you think you know
Do you think you know me
