We’re The Dream Diggers
Refugee camps are pearly dark graves of dreams
And we’re the dream diggers
We’ve been frustrated and frosted to dampen our streams
Frittering on frisking us as if we have daggers.
Refugee camps are pearly dark graves of dreams
And we’re the dream seekers
Like tornados, our life is turbulent in turmoil
Coiling and toiling books
With hope to leak the confined barriers
For you’re but oblivious
That travel documents are as blighted as the great wall
Refugee camps are full of snags and hitches
We’re the solution influencers
And human rights claimant
There is a need for a gesture of SOLIDARITY
For the resolutions towards our goal.
