LYRICS:
WELCOME (REFUGEE SONG)
I've been born in a foreign country, that called long time ago
giving work to everybody, hope and a new status quo
Working hard, adapt and helping, building a new life for all
and I grow up being grateful, since then so many leaves have fall
Nowadays I look around me, many countries still in war
they flee of bombs and death, are knocking now at our door
Don't put the blame on them, we have responsibility
they only search for living, in freedom and tranquility
But the borders closed, we refuse and let them die
Although we brought them our war, now we are so deaf don't hear their cry.
Making deals with other countries, lock them far away
Just let a few come in, but to love one another is what we pray
Welcome to our lives, welcome to our heart
if you wanna peace, respect, here is another place to start
Welcome to everybody, reaching out a helping hand
if you wanna help and love, be sure, this is your place, your home, your land
We don't have the money, nor the space, and we don't have enough
this is what we say and think to buy some useless, trivial stuff
They don't have our values, nor religion, don't respect their wives
but it's us who hurt and kill, throw bottles, wearing guns and knifes
It is our way of life, consumption let the birth rate shrink
How to pay the retirees, is what the system makes you think
And instead of viewing refugees as help and a way out
we insist ignoring them, continuing our way so proud
We are different, we think that we are still the best
preaching peace and love and bring the war to all the rest
Rise and fall is our way of life, our destiny
So open up your eyes and face the cruel and sad reality
Welcome to our country, we want you here, it’s our aim
if you respect our life, be sure we gonna do the same
Welcome to our arms, it's love that you have in your heart?
Respect and love are welcome, the basis for a brand new start
Welcome to our lives, welcome to our heart
if you wanna peace, respect, here is another place to start
Welcome to everybody, reach out a helping hand
if you wanna help and love, be sure, this is your place, your home, your land
