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
