The Day We Left Home

There was a blue sky

Over my old town

And we saw planes fly

Never coming down

Tried to rearrange life

When all we had was gone

But then there came the day when

Our thoughts had grown

The day we left our home

I felt it on my skin and in my bones

A part of me was shaken to the core

My friend she kept on waving from the door

They held my uncle a prisoner

For saying what he thought

Cause he saw what this new system

Did to what he loved

We had our motherland so strong

Drowning in the dark

And the so called president

I wished he would choke on his blood

The day we left our home

I felt it on my skin and in my bones

A part of me was shaken to the core

My friend she kept on waving from the door

I saw some military man

In the dining room chair

Writing down a list

Of everything we had

So if we tried to take something

With us as we go

We should never leave this place

For they would know

The day we left our home

I felt it on my skin and in my bones

A part of me was shaken to the core

My friend she kept on waving from the door

The day we left our home

I felt it on my skin and in my bones

A part of me was shaken to the core

My friend she kept on waving from the door

The day we left our home
