the oceans
between us
You started out as strangers
United by your dream
To build yourselves a better life
No heartache too extreme
It’s been 50 years or more now
How it angers me to see
All you’ve done
Just don’t count for much
Still seen as refugees
Our path we will find
With love as our comfort
And hope as our guide
With hope as our guide
Like the mariners on a raging sea
We search for truth endlessly
No stone unturned
Or mask unveiled
Revealing all but fairy tales
We’re all coloured strands
Our threads unseen
Remnants of some faded dream
We’re cast alone as refugees
Or live as one grand tapestry
Though there are oceans between us
Our path we will find
With love as our comfort
And hope as our guide
With hope as our guide
Though there are oceans between us
There’s no place to hide
Take courage for comfort
Have faith by your side
And the oceans between us
There’s no place to hide
Take courage for comfort
Have faith by your side
Have faith by your side
