[verse]

       F
We are lost
       Bb  F
We are homeless
          Bb       F            C
Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea

        F
When we left here
           Bb     F
We gave up all we owned
Bb            F                C
Chased by the devil that stole our homes

[pre chorus]

           Bb
And we may never see
    Gm          Bb      F
The beauty of our land again
   Bb
No backward glance
               F
No history, no home, no claim
     C
Only shame

[chorus]

       F
We are old
       Bb  F
We are many
Bb             F            C
Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat

        F
We seek food
        Bb    F
We seek shelter
        Bb    F           C
We seek arms around us to give us hope

[pre verse]

           Gm       Bb
But we may never find
                          F
A welcome on your foreign shore
            Bb
We know the odds are stacked against
                        F            C
The coloured, sick, the weak and poor

[verse]

            F
We could be you
             Bb   F
We share the same blood
             Bb         F
So why's our fate so different
        C
In this human flood?

       F
So you chase us
       Bb   F
You despise us
          Bb           F
Divide us up with your looks
         C
And your shallow words

[pre chorus]

         Bb
So we survive in limbo
   F
Or come to you illegally
       Bb
We may share the soil
            F
But we will never be unchained and free

            Bb
And when we disappear
       F
You'll never get to see us flee
          Bb
They will hide us from you
                F
Say it's for your liberty
          C
Your sanity

[chorus]

       F
We are lost
Bb       F
  we are homeless
Bb  F
Homeless
Bb  F
Hopeless
              We are lost
We are homeless
Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea

When we left here
We gave up all we owned
Chased by the devil that stole our homes

And we may never see
The beauty of our land again
No backward glance
No history, no home, no claim
Only shame

We are old
We are many
Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat

We seek food
We seek shelter
We seek arms around us to give us hope

But we may never find
A welcome on your foreign shore
We know the odds are stacked against
The coloured, sick, the weak and poor

We could be you
We share the same blood
So why's our fate so different in this human flood?

So you chase us
You despise us
Divide us up with your looks and your shallow words

So we survive in limbo
Or come to you illegally
We may share the soil
But we will never be unchained and free

And when we disappear
You'll never get to see us flee
They will hide us from you
Say it's for your liberty
Your sanity

We are lost
We are homeless
Homeless
Hopeless
