I know I don't look like you and you don't dress like me
Maybe we can close our eyes and look out to sea
Beyond the blue horizon, beyond the lies and hate
Beyond the old religions, beyond the shackled gates

I'm tired of the bombs, tired of the sleepless fear
Tired of the tears in my children's eyes and that's why I'm here

I know I don't pray like you and you don't eat like me
When it all comes down to the bigger picture we all just want to be
The best brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers and peers
And live a life of dignity, that's why I'm here

I'm tired of the bombs, tired of the sleepless fear
Tired of the tears in my children's eyes and that's why I'm here

I miss my real home but we had no choice
We ran like dogs to a bone can you imagine how that feels?

I'm tired of the bombs, tired of the sleepless fear
Tired of the tears in my children's eyes and that's why I'm here
