about

Nobody gets to decide where they are born. We all have a moral and humane obligation to take care of any refugees.

lyrics

From the depths of anger we see a union collide -
with a stream of refugees fleeing for their lives.
And we judge and we judge. Think black - See red!
So many questions unanswered and many arguments unsaid.
A pride that quickly grows - we've seen it in the past-
The rise of shallow complaints within this social class.

From the depths of fear we see a union collide-
With a stream of refugees fleeing for their lives.
And we judge and we judge - Think black- See red!
So many questions unanswered and many arguments unsaid.
It's far from our beds - far from our minds.
Yet it's so different on the other side.

Just leave them there. Just let it go. Just let them die-
They should've been born into a better life.
Just let them swim - Just let them drown - Just Let them die-
Don't pretend you care about their lives.

Don't let this age become one of hate.
Please let them stay - let them stay.
I hope one day we’ll open our hearts and say:
please let them stay - let them stay – Let them Stay!
