kathleen manstream - homeland كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
they took me from my homeland when i was just five years
took me from my mother and my sister through my tears
they brought me to this country where i’ve heard that all live free
but from the look of those chains upon my feet, it’s not including me

[verse 2]
they dress me up like they are all in glitter and in gold
and like a bad dream, they use me, and though i’m young, i’m old
and though i’m strong and mighty as on my back, they ride
their weight is nothing to the pain i bear inside

[refrain 1]
and i cry alone
and i die alone

[verse 3]
sometimes, if i can chance to see before they put us in the cages
i glimpse the open land outside and like a memory through the ages
the wilderness returns to me but then i’m back inside the steel
and my soul grows small and tired and my heart forgets to feel

[refrain 2]
and i cry alone
and i die far from my home
[verse 4]
as they force me ’round the ring, i knew i could no longer be
i woke up from the nightmare and saw what they had done to me
robbed me of my childhood and they robbed me of my life
i wanted to tear the place to h_ll on that cold palm bay night

[verse 5]
but laying here in the dust, oh, it hurts to move around
twenty_five rounds of gunfire finally brought me to the ground
what can i tell myself? is this what my life was worth?
never having a chance to live, and now dying in the dirt

[refrain 3]
and i cried alone
and i died alone

[outro]
and we cry alone, alone
and we die far from our home
