Over the border, you can hear distant cries
The people flee. Tears in their eyes
The bombs have dropped, homes destroyed
The fear is real, no hope to avoid
Over the border, where the new journey begins
The road is long, too long to go with your twin
The dangers lurk, the risks are high
The uncertainty looms. You both sigh
Over the border, your welcome is unpleasant
We arrive, treated like peasants
The shelters are full, the air is thin
Our desperation grows, from deep within
Over the border, separately we go
Into the camps indefinitely, oh so slow
No escapes, we don’t see
Thousands of us, one, two, three
