You are 17

You have seen everything

You can tell 1000 stories of pain

You've seen nothing but hate

Life in war is your fate

A situation you can't tolerate

Any longer

Your father was shot by soldiers

Your mother's been raped

While you hid in the wardrobe

They sent you away to break free

Savior of their destiny

To unknown shores to flee 
war and poverty

The boat is overcrowded

Floating bodies in the sea

Mothers crying, children dying

It’s day-to-day normality

Hellcome to our country

Where the weapons were built that wage your war

Hellcome to a world of denial

You're a refugee

In the land of the free

Perceived commotions are close

Beside all charity

You found shelter far away from your home

You realize that you feel safe but alone

Hellcome to our country

Where the weapons were built that wage your war

Hellcome to a world of denial

Longing for home and your friends and your family

You pray for freedom and for a better world

You want to break free

Savior of destiny

To unknown shores

To flee war and poverty

You're a refugee

In the land of the free

Perceived commotions are

Close beside all charity
