I heard the water drowning my ears
Are we close to the Island?
“It’d be a few more hours away
from the dawn to peek at us”
“Keep your head below the water
I know that it’s cold but it’ll be over”
That’s the last thing I heard from you
Then I was found on the Island
/Chorus/
Hey officer, can you hold my hands in yours
so I know the cold is over?
I’ve never seen my home country just in peace
but my soul belongs to her
Only wish to make it to Lesvos Island
People don’t shoot, people don’t bomb, I don’t have to run
What happened has happened I’m just a bit out of luck
They said the world was beautiful
Can’t see with my eyes open in the dark
Now the moon reminds me of the light
That shines through the eyes of my child
But he’s far too weak to fight
Those firebombs don’t shake away my fear
Cause I have seen much more worse than that
This path I’m walking is to heaven or hell
Not even God can answer
