Song about asylum seekers crossing Mediterranean sea
Lyrics:
DEATH BOAT
Written By Ahmad Saadeldin
They waited so long to the end of winter
Holding their hopes to find a way
To a place where they can live with a dream
Escape from war tearing home
They’re looking for a safe place to live
They’re looking for a future for their kids
The war is not over
The guns on shoulders
And the world turn blind eye to them
All memories they left behind
Scattered pictures on stormy sea
Trying desperately to stay afloat
Quiver as the waves cast their vengeance on death boat
Yeah death boat
A brief story on death boat
Chorus
Waited so long for the end of winter
Holding their hopes to find a way
To a place where they can live with a dream
Escape from war tearing home
They’re looking for a safe place to live
They’re looking for a future for their kids
The war is not over
The guns on shoulders
And the world turn blind eye to them
