lyrics

Well it never rains in my homeland
It just pours fire and fires down burning tears
One last smile for my family
I said one day we’ll all be free
So I’m setting off with this bad souvenir.

We live like rats under the boards of limbo
Work nine hours for some rice and a piece of floor
And I pray five times a day
While twelve years just slips away
And we hide away from someone else’s law.

Well hope’s a colour all so bright and so nameless
It’s singing every note that we could never trust
A light swinging in an empty hall
With shadows up and down the dirty walls
All these years of darkness and my eyes still can’t adjust.

Yeah I got a one-way ticket to the land of plenty
When we hit those shores the children gonna jump and dance
But I just pray this sieve don’t sink
And it breaks my heart to think
How I’ll tell my family this is love’s last chance.
