Rocking Ship (feat. Alpha Steppa)

You've come so far From war zones and dictatorships In search of a better life You've come so far From war zones and dictatorships Traveling on the blade of a knife To my friend, I am sorry Sorry for your loss I write from my safe European home Behind the borders you try to cross I would send you a message of solidarity But I know that statement comes far too easily You've come so far From war zones and dictatorships In search of a better life I've not spent years waiting for the day When I can find a resting place that doesn't rock and sway Down at the passport office, I handed in my form And now I can cross any line because of the place where I was born You've come so far (on a rocking ship) From war zones and dictatorships In search of a better life On the beaches of Lesbos, the jungle in Calais You've been traveling for forever and a day The smugglers approach you with dollars in their eyes The government make you queue day after day; their promises are lies You've come so far You're just a person; your status is not an identity What I'm sending is an apology You've come so far (on a rocking ship) From war zones and dictatorships In search of a better life You've come so far From war zones and dictatorships Traveling on the blade of a knife
