Can you hear them? Can you see them? Can you hear them cry? Once they've hit the road to leave the bale Didn't look back to their ailing shack They have passed through heat and hail and gale Forward always forward! They're searching for asylum day to day Pull their insides out Can you see their doubts? They're longing for shelter on their way For a secure place to stay Can you hear them cry? Born into the badlands - untended place To meet their fate on a one-way-strait Asking for a better life as an act of grace Their world, your world, my world, one world Can you see them cry? Can you hear them cry?
