Lampedusa

I was taken away from my brothers
I was taken away from my friends
And now we just pray for each other
I pray to go back

Sometimes I still see my mother
She appears in my dreams like a flame
She tells me to care for each other
And that's all she says

There are times when the sky seems so blue
There are times when I'm not so afraid
But then I see
that we hurt each other, we blame each other, time and time again
That's what I see, we abandon each other, we betray each other, again and again

When I first arrived on this island
I thought I was born again
I thought my journey was over
But I see no end
There are times when the ocean's so clear
And my darkness inside drifts away
But then I see
we still hurt each other, we still blame each other, time and time again
That's what I see, we abandon each other, we betray each other, again and again

I had to leave all my brothers
I had to leave my homeland
And now just we pray for each other
we pray to go back
