For Dear Life

My life seems to be over
And I’m just in my teenager years
I will not die like a thousand boys
And girls from my hometown
No work, no future, no abundance
No hope in my mind
Empty plates, no drinking water
Only desert and sand

Lost my brothers
Lost my sisters
On our dangerous way
Across the ocean
Across the borders
I will never be hungry again

I’ll dive in honey
Grab some meat
Swimming in wine
I’ll live in freedom
Glad and safe
Dreaming every night

Lost my brothers
Lost my sisters
On our dangerous way
Across the ocean
Across the borders
I will never be hungry again

I sold my body
I’ll pay the boat
I’m ready, I will try
I will survive
I’m the only one
Left of a family twenty-one strong

I’ve lost my brothers
Lost my sisters
On our dangerous way
Across the ocean
Across the borders
I will never be hungry again
