Now We Are the Aliens

We're singing those old rebel songs
They thought they'd banned
Some fortitude on our voyage
To unknown lands

I reassure all her concerns
With little belief
Damaged by life, nearly spent two refugees

Will they welcome us? We're the aliens
Who knows friend or foe?
Arms opened wide or fists clenched?
How will they judge us now we're the aliens
I don't know

We pose no threat, for we come with
Peaceful intent please focus on what unifies
Not what's different

Who knows friend or foe?
Will they empathise or demonise?
Well we're only lowly homo sapiens

Will they welcome us? We're the aliens

Who knows friend or foe?
We're the aliens we're the aliens
Through the tension I dwell on my failures
She placed her faith in this empt saviour
Sad, I know
