Dusty roads and burning skies
A promised land before their eyes
Hands held tight a whispered prayer
A dream of life beyond despair
A wall stands tall a voice says "No"
The gate won't open time runs slow
Tears unspoken backs turned round
Feet retrace the broken ground
No way forward no way through
Hope was golden now it's blue
Shattered dreams and empty hands
Lost between two bitter lands
The sun beats down on fields of stone
Where hunger sleeps and fear has grown
The home they left still waits in pain
A cage of dust a world unchanged
A mother lifts her weary child
His eyes once bright now lost and wild
She hums a song of days before
When hope still knocked upon their door
No way forward no way through
Hope was golden now it's blue
Shattered dreams and empty hands
Lost between two bitter lands
Who decides the price of fate?
Who will hear before too late?
A border drawn in blood and stone
Yet hearts still break the same alone
No way forward no way through
Hope was golden now it's blue
Shattered dreams and empty hands
Lost between two bitter lands
Footsteps fade the night is cold
The same old story new and old
No way forward no way through
Just a world that never knew
