We are lost 
We are homeless
Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea

When we left here 
We gave up all we owned
Chased by the devil that stole our homes

And we may never see 
The beauty of our land again 
No backward glance 
No history, no home, no claim 
Only shame

We are old
We are many
Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat 

We seek food 
We seek shelter
We seek arms around us to give us hope 

But we may never find 
A welcome on your foreign shore
We know the odds are stacked against 
The coloured, sick, the weak and poor

We could be you 
We share the same blood 
So why's our fate so different in this human flood?

So you chase us
You despise us
Divide us up with your looks and your shallow words

So we survive in limbo 
Or come to you illegally
We may share the soil 
But we will never be unchained and free

And when we disappear 
You’ll never get to see us flee
They will hide us from you
Say it's for your liberty
Your sanity

We are lost 
We are homeless
Homeless
Hopeless
