Cast Away

Cast away, souls at bay
It's our dreams, they betray
Now they say we can't stay
Prayers we pray lost today
Put the shade of your skin
With the shade of my skin
Put the song that you sing
With the dance that I bring
Refugees, downward bound
Fill the streets of your town.

Can't we make a world, to which everyone belongs
Can't we make a world, without fears without frontiers?

We're called names we are blamed
We're kept down we are shamed
In the night torture comes
Try to speak without tongues
My homeland I hold here
In my heart ever near
In your land I find tears
Words that hurt things to fear
In my heart summer dies
From your grey winter skies.

Can't we make a world, to which everyone belongs
Can't we make a world, without fears without frontiers?

Cast away, souls at bay
It's our dreams, they betray
Now they say we can't stay
Prayers we pray lost today
Cast away
Cast away.
