Lyrics

This is what the war has done to Jobar
A district on the edge of Damascus city center
It's been fought over since rebels seized it around two years ago
A new government offensive, more air strikes, is happening now
The way Syrians used to live is a memory
It all changed overnight, my daily lifestyle in plain sight
Leavin' a place called home, I'm on this refugee flight
'Cause where I laid my head at has been blown to smithereens
Havin' nightmares of dead bodies floatin' in the stream
Can't shake the cries of a decent man's simple dreams
Burnt to ashes, the horror of a young woman's scream
Diggin' through the rubble, lookin' for signs of life
A newborn's room got struck by a missile the other night
Overnight we gotta pack up and leave, just take what you need
We gotta get up in the breeze
And make a run for the border, this might be the last chance
Put your fam and throw your things in the back of this van
Get some sleep, there's a long way to go
What's the final destination? Don't care, and don't need to know
Maybe one day we'll come back home
Until then, for now we gotta flee out this bloody war zone
Pick up your things and let's go
We can't stop here, we got a long way on this road
I know it's difficult (I know), I know you hungry and stressed
I know the baby needs food, I know your body needs rest
Nevertheless we can't give up now
We gotta get there with all of our strength
Some way or somehow keep lookin' forward, not a sec
Don't you dare look back
We gotta go, so beware of the traps, let's go
The weather's brutal, at it with the moans and cries
Tattered bodies, this feels like a lonely ride
'Cause it's survival of the fittest, the weakest thrown aside
In makeshift graves, swallow the selfish pride
We're all in this together, keep pushin' the limits
A new life lays ahead, I'm hopeful of what's in it
'Cause anything's better than this current Hell that I'm in
Flashback of the violence got me yellin' again
A cold sweat, the demons keep hauntin' my dreams
Conquer these scenes with courage, we march to be free
Fiendin' for a shower and a hot meal to digest
Too tired, burnt out, never mindin' the stress
The sun comin' up, givin' us a glimmer of hope
Leave the past all behind, we drenched in the soap
From last night's journey, can't wait to consume
A healthy meal, we'll reach our destination real soon
Pick up your things and let's go
We can't stop here, we got a long way on this road
I know it's difficult (I know), I know you hungry and stressed
I know the baby needs food, I know your body needs rest
Nevertheless we can't give up now
We gotta get there with all of our strength
Some way or somehow keep lookin' forward, not a sec
Don't you dare look back
We gotta go, so beware of the traps, let's go
Looks like we made it, the start of a new life
Beyond the border, so determined and just doin' what's right
Any helpin' hand will do, so soothin' the sight
Of hand claps and the cheers, that's what movin' the fright
Of a bloody past, we passed the first wall of the danger
But mixed with the smiles in the crowd there's a sense of some anger
Pure hate, that's what spat on my face, why are they mad?
Why they kickin' on my mother, and throwin' things at my dad?
A nomad, in all sense of the word
Why the men in riot gear stompin' bodies on the edge of the curb?
Escapin' one Hell right into the next
I'm so perplexed, so scared what will happen next
The unknown, a future nightmare yet to be dreamt
It ain't addin' up, 'til my name don't have a red cent
It seems the world ain't sharin' the love
Havin' second thoughts, maybe I was better off where I was
I don't know
Pick up your things and let's go
We can't stop here, we got a long way on this road
I know it's difficult (I know), I know you hungry and stressed
I know the baby needs food, I know your body needs rest
Nevertheless we can't give up now
We gotta get there with all of our strength
Some way or somehow keep lookin' forward, not a sec
Don't you dare look back
We gotta go, so beware of the traps, let's go
Rebels blew this school up when it was being used by Syrian soldiers
At the village's only shop, said her
Children were terrified by the gunfire
We are moving from one place to another. I have been
Displaced five times. What future do you think they will have?
