Land Of Hope Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kai was damaged at the age of 12
His father shot before his eyes
Daily woken from that nightmare by
Bombs falling from the skies

All possessions paid, to buy a risky passage
In an overcrowded rubber boat
And now we're standing
On the borderline, singing

[Chorus]
It's a long road
Carrying this load
And we need to go there
And we need to go there
All we seek
Is a land of hope
And we need to go there
Where do we go with nothing?
(Where do we go?)
(Where do we go?)

[Verse 2]
Many others also forced to flee
Every state and age
Headed out into uncertainty
All their life savings paid

And it's decided that they're
Undesirables
Illegal, and a threat
And now they're camping
On the borderline, singing

[Chorus]
It's a long road
Carrying this load
And we need to go there
And we need to go there
All we seek
Is a land of hope
And we need to go there
Where do we go with nothing?

[Bridge]
Imagine what it is to leave
Everything, and everyone
You've ever known
Traded in for daily jeopardy
Just so you
May find a little safety
The kind of safety all of us
Take for granted everyday

[Chorus]
It's a long road
Carrying this load
And we need to go there
And we need to go there
All we seek
Is a land of hope
And we need to go there
Where do we go with nothing?

It's a long road
Carrying this load
And we need to go there
And we need to go there
All we seek
Is a land of hope
And we need to go there
Where do we go with nothing?
