being born in a war-loving country
having endured endless suffering
in a desire to taste freedom and peace
we flee our homeland.

fifty of us make our escape
on a rickety boat meant for 20 people
after 3 long days and nights
we set our feet on a foreign soil.

the soil gives us a red carpet welcome
the gentle breeze whispers welcome in our ears
we smell freedom in the air
a ray of hope enters our heart.

we're placed in a refugee camp
a set of questions enter our heart
will this foreign country support us?
will they help us lead a decent livelihood?

we go to sleep
with one answered question
that we'll definitely see
the dawn of a new day.
