Safe Ground

With fear in the eyes and ragged shoes The escape from your homeland continues. You dream to be safe and not forced to hide You're going through Europe with tired strides We can't understand the things that you have seen The painful goodbyes, the tears and the screams You do what you must your child is in your arms Your tired body tries to keep him warm The road seems endless the rain is falling down Your heart beats fast remembering your burning town You are fleeing across the sea to a fate unknown You hold your baby while the tears they burn But you do what you must There is one goal so profound To set down your childs feet on safe ground Going to safe ground Going to safe ground
