Once you've sat with refugees, you'll stand with them.

Lyrics

Desert highway riding all night
Darkness hiding your fears
Whisper children that it's alright
Trust betrayed by your tears
Soldiers earned their reputation
Every gun is for hire
Fueling brute intimidation
With their religious fire

Then the tanks began to roll in
Twenty minutes they said
Your identity was stolen
In the violence you fled
Now your daughters see you helpless
Paralyzed in your plans
Searched and seized by overzealous
Bloody militants' hands

Now we're all potential refugees
Show the strangers what a welcome can be
Could be tomorrow; could be today
Suddenly disrupted and we're running away
From a life we took for granted to a land where we're not wanted
Cause now we're all potential refugees

Four rejected applications
Don't leave room for much hope
Boredom fades to resignation
Down a slippery slope
Hardest part is still the waiting
For a place to call home
Cosmic balances are weighing
All that we've ever owned

Now we're all potential refugees
Show the strangers what a welcome can be
Could be tomorrow; could be today
Suddenly disrupted and we're running away
From a life we took for granted to a land where we're not wanted
Cause now we're all potential refugees
