On the Run - Kalandra

Rough and ragged over land and sea

Sacrificed it all for the means to be free

Hunters of fortune in the search for a home

Leaving all their loved ones for a place unknown

Rough and ragged…

You were born to lose

You were taught to run

Beneath the breaking waves

Reaching for the sun

There’s a future along these shores

Will you join the chorus, dare to ask for more?

Watch the dreamers, they’re just like you

Opportunity is only for the lucky few

There’s a future

You were forced to choose

To leave your world behind

Drifting with the tides

Afraid to cross the line

If you reach the shores

Ask yourself once more

What will you become?

You were born to lose

You were taught to run

Always forced to chose at the barrel of a gun

Always on the news

(He's a foreigner looks like a foreigner)

Fading with the views

(She's a foreigner doesn’t belong in here)

Easy to ignore

(Can't ignore that…)

Until they come ashore

We tell stories from the home of the brave

Everyone’s consuming the masquerade

If you want freedom, there’s a price to pay

Yet everyone’s been paying, and still, we’re not the same
