REFUGE
The streets are where we’ll meet
A battle ground to speak our minds
Chosen are the few
What of the rest of human kind?
Our feet will march like soldiers
And our voices all will strain
To be heard through dust and chaos
These words we speak for change
Let’s love beyond the borders
Let’s leave behind the lines
Let my home be yours
Let your home be mine
What can we do to speak our truth?
What can we say to greet our pain?
Where can we rest to find relief
Where will the solid ground remain?
A quiet space, a warm embrace
Away from bombs and lines of fire
We’ll find diamonds in the dirt
Uncover earth alert, alive
Let’s love beyond the borders
Let’s leave behind the lines
Let my home be yours
Let your home be mine
