They don’t know your name
You don’t play their games
It’s more pain than gain
In the new world, you’re not the same

Lost the arms of your brothers
Pure love of the mothers
Your soul eats shame in the cave
Drowning in the solitary waves

Home scared away a little boy
Swallowing sorrows, a stranger to joy
You kept no friends, nobody cared
Women played your heart like plastic toy

The whole world’s your home, new brother
Its Creator loves you like no other
Come and live within your heart
Go strong, don’t let them tear you apart
