lyrics

£1 from every album to go to Care4Calais charity
No-one is illegal

I never did see a map of the route
After hundreds of miles I arrived on foot
At the sea so clear and blue by day
Never imagined the horrors that lay
For all of us there who had no choice
Strangled, drowned, deprived of a voice
In the blackness, the hellish void

And then to arrive and be safe at last
In Europe now we’d outrun our past
But no, we’ve been locked up en masse
Someone’s been telling these people some lies
Or not telling them just how badly ruined
All of our lives have become and how each one of them
Needs to open up their eyes
And not ignore the people’s cries

Repeating mistakes of the past is unwise
Second class citizens, ended lives
Avoiding western bombs from the sky
Trade agreements from on high
The flame of their hope is still burning so strong
Against the odds they’re travelling on

Would you leave your home and all that you know
To throw yourself on the road unknown?
Would you leave the comfort of your family and friends
To start a journey with no end?
Would you leave your home and all that you know
To throw yourself on the mercy of the road?

Words by Joe Campbell-McArdle
Composed and Arranged by Joe Campbell-McArdle and Myles McCormack
Performed by Lonesome George
