Cold

The earth is shaking

The sky is burning

It’s time to grab your things and get back on the road

The faces inside

Are slowly fading

And everything you ever treasured now is gone

Nothing before you

Nothing behind

Just a void with no beginning and no end

But tell me now

How it feels

To be out there standing on your own

Warm embrace to a brother

Or the tender kisses from a lover

Is all that matters in the end

One single act of goodness

Or a favor in the hardst moment

Can make this world a bettr place

Regardless creed or color

There’s no difference pain or sorrow

We’re all made of the same flesh

One day we will discover

We are bound to support each other

And that day there will never be again

Another refugee

We camp

Your body shaking

The world is waving

You’re sailing through a sea of fear and despair

Your thoughts are centered

On distant islands

Where any chance of life is possible again

Over the fences

You can hear the echoes

Of empty chatter and commercials on TV

So tell me now

How it feels

To be stranded at the gates of your last hope

«…legislation to ban asylum seekers who try to reach Australia by boat from

ever entering the country…»

Warm embrace to a brother

Or the tender kisses from a lover

Is all that matters in the end

One single act of goodness

Or a favor in the hardest moment

Can make this world a better place

Regardless creed or color

There’s no difference pain or sorrow

We’re all made of the same flesh

One day we will discover

We are bound to support each other

And that day there will never be again
