Rough and ragged over land and sea
Sacrificed it all for the means to be free
Hunters of fortune in the search for a home
Leaving all their loved ones for a place unknown
Rough and ragged ...

You were born to lose 
You were taught to run

Beneath the breaking waves 
Reaching for the sun

There's a future along these shores
Will you join the chorus, dare to ask for more?
Watch the dreamers, they're just like you
Opportunity is only for the lucky few
There's a future

You were forced to choose 
To leave your world behind
Drifting with the tides
Afraid to cross the line

If you reach the shores,
Ask yourself once more
What will you become?

You were born to lose                   
You were taught to run                   
Always forced to chose at the barrel of a gun

Always on the news
(He's a foreigner looks like a foreigner)       
Fading with the views
(She's a foreigner doesn't belong in here)       
Easy to ignore                   
(Can't ignore that...)               
Until they come ashore               

We tell stories from the home of the brave
Everyone's consuming the masquerade
If you want freedom, there's a price to pay
Yet everyone's been paying, and still, we're not the same
