F Bb F Bb F C
[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
