Human Kindness

I know that there's more to this ugly game

I see a war designed to never be tamed

I've slept in the rubble, amongst the shame

Screaming at the bombs

This is not in my name

I'm seeking kindness

I'm longing for safety

I'm praying for home

I'm craving compassion

Searching for sanity

Praying for home

I've been stripped to the bone

Home Is where we can belong

Home Is where our children grow strong

Home Is where the fire burns long

Home Is where peace can come from

I've travelled for months

Ran thousands of miles

I fled the land that holds the heart of my kin

And I know you now see the torn state I'm in

I can't tell you my name or the places I've been

And I'm seeking kindness

I'm longing for safety

I'm praying for home

I'm craving compassion

Searching for sanity

Praying for home

I've been stripped to the bone

Home Is where we can belong

Home Is where our children grow strong

Home Is where the fire burns long

Home Is where peace can come from

I'm praying for human kindness

I'm praying for human forgiveness

I'm praying for us to all to belong

They call me a migrant

They call me a thief

They call me a beggar man

An asylum seeker

I was once a teacher

I was once a family man

I was once a dreamer

A community leader

And I've seen friends and family

All scattered and broken

And we don't know why the cruelty keeps raging

Yes I'm seeking your kindness

I'm longing for safely

I'm praying for home

I'm craving compassion

Searching for meaning

And I feel so alone

I've been stripped to the bone

Home Is where we can belong

Home Is where our children grow strong

Home Is where the fire burns long

Home Is where peace can come from

And home Is where peace can come, come from

Home Is where peace can come from

Home Is where peace can come from

Home Is where peace can come from
