Refugees

Get up, switch off

Switch off your television

Start talking, you've been a long time looking

How do you speak with a voice that's true

And recognise what lies beneath

Well, it moves in you

Take off your clothes

You see a young man swimming

He is the light, and you are all the women

In the books that you're reading

And they don't cry

Woke by a song

I hear a lone bird singing

All chaos drops

I hear the birds sing back

With all the courage that I lack

But, get up, switch off

Switch off your television

Start talking, tell your boyfriend the news

If you weren't brave

Well, I couldn't be brave

I would just cry

There's work to be done

Then comes the fun
