Save Our Souls - Clawfinger

Pardon my French, but it`s all Greek to me

When an innocent child is allowed to drown out at sea

Our flags are just fiction, our borders just air

So regardless of roots you can`t tell me that you don`t care

Because I know for a fact that when it`s at your front door

When it`s your youngest child that you see washed ashore

When the bombs are in your backyard and you`re under attack

When the victim is you, you`ll be the first to react

Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell

We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell

We don`t do a thing about it

Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope

We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope

There’s no reason we should doubt it

So if we let them in, and then force them back

And build a big fucking wall, what kind of signal is that

(We care a lot!) but we don`t, because we don`t want to lose

The benefits that we have, because we`ve all paid our dues

When it makes the news and you`re safe in your own home

It`s so easy to care, in your own comfort zone

So we take what we get, like a natural fact

But we don`t seem to care enough to give something back

Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell

We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell

We don`t do a thing about it

Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope

We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope

There’s no reason we should doubt it

The truth is so plain despite our different names

Cause at the end of the day we`re all really the same

Our skin colors may vary, our religion as well

But we all want forgiveness, from heaven or hell

Every life is a cost, every soul is a sell

We`re all cynics at best, we`re all under a spell

We don`t do a thing about it

Every hand is a help, every dream is a hope

We`re all doing our best, we`re all trying to cope

There’s no reason we should doubt it
