Product Description
Just to live is a song written from the perspective of a refugee.
It has a timely and moving message about heart-break and the plight of people forced to leave their homeland.
The final verse has a descant.
Lyrics are:
From the hatred in our
homeland,
Through the terrors of
land and sea,
We fled from certain
death,
Seeking peace and harmony.
We come seeking life, with
only what we wear.
Does no-one see our
plight? Will no-one hear our prayer?
All we want is to live in
freedom;
All we want is to live in
peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
The light of hope is fading,
dimmed by dark despair.
We could see the gates of
paradise.
We were almost there.
We come seeking life, with
only what we wear.
Does no-one see our
plight? Will no-one hear our prayer?
All we want is to live in
freedom;
All we want is to live in
peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
Heart broken and exhausted,
we grieve for the lost:
Our loved ones tortured,
killed;
Survival has a terrible
cost.
All we want is to live in
freedom;
All we want is to live in
peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
All we want is to live in
freedom;
All we want is to live in
peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
Let us live.
