empathy for refugees looking for a new life and finding it a challenge

lyrics

Refugees

He keeps moving forward.
There is no back.
His home has been destroyed,
And all of his past.
There’s no comfort there that can be found
As he finds himself alone
On this new, foreign ground
Where he’s just a refugee.

Chorus:
They are refugees.
They are running from
Being refugees.
Still they are refugees,
No matter where they go,
They will be refugees.

His wife is crying.
They’ve seen bullets fly.
One child is traveling with them.
One child of theirs has died.
There’s no future.
That’s their situation,
As the police drive them back
From the railway station.

Chorus

Won’t you feel their pain
As they reach another border.
To be turned away again
As refugees.
Fleeing certain death,
Find it in your heart
To give them refuge
At your home and hearth.

Chorus

2nd Chorus:
They have traveled long,
They have crossed the sea.
They find themselves alone
In a crowded room
Now they have no home
For they are refugees.
