Bilingual
You've come so far
From war zones and dictatorships
In search of a better life
You've come so far
From war zones and dictatorships
Traveling on the blade of a knife
To my friend, I am sorry
Sorry for your loss
I write from my safe European home
Behind the borders you try to cross
I would send you a message of solidarity
But I know that statement comes far too easily
You've come so far
From war zones and dictatorships
In search of a better life
I've not spent years waiting for the day
When I can find a resting place that doesn't rock and sway
Down at the passport office, I handed in my form
And now I can cross any line because of the place where I was born
You've come so far (on a rocking ship)
From war zones and dictatorships
In search of a better life
ย
On the beaches of Lesbos, the jungle in Calais
You've been traveling for forever and a day
The smugglers approach you with dollars in their eyes
The government make you queue day after day; their promises are lies
You've come so far
You're just a person; your status is not an identity
What I'm sending is an apology
You've come so far (on a rocking ship)
From war zones and dictatorships
In search of a better life
You've come so far
From war zones and dictatorships
Traveling on the blade of a knife
