Only Child (feat. Petra Acker)

Here I am now still in wonder All the years passed far from my homeland. What did I do to deserve this They stole my life and robbed my family If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow If I were the only one sold away by unknown hands Why are we treated this way How come the system knows much better what we need You'd say we're all the same But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child Some have found what they've been missing, others still keep and keep on searching So many have died in the meantime and I wonder why, oh why Has it been easy to decide to sell away all those human lives The poverty they try to erase turned into suffering Now tell me, what kind of money can buy, the love of your family If I were the only one, I'd understand this somehow If I were the only one sold away Why are we treated this way How come the system knows much better what we need You'd say we are all the same But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child Hoping longing trying to forget, holding on to what's left of some kind of sanity Praying without knowing if God still exists, can those scars ever heal Why are we treated this way How come the system knows much better what we need You'd say we are all the same But my mother cried because she couldn't find her only child
