This is about the struggle of the Sudanese refugees

lyrics

FLEE FROM TERROR TO BE EATEN BY LIONS

Hell on earth, war ensues
Instinctual survival skills
Run or be killed
Blindly into the night
Far from the fight
Leaving everything behind
Family and friends
lost, presumed dead
Horrors told by other victims
No prisoners or bribes, just genocide
Only the fastest runners survived
Exiled to the harsh elements to starve and die

Abandon all hope, abandon the country
March for months to be turned away
No compassion, no humanity
More brutality
No peace
Defenseless, stuck in between
No one wants the refugees
Forced to hide
Abandoned to die
Pushed to the wilderness
Growing numbers, the helpless displaced
Rumors of humanitarian aid

Death comes to all who
are injured or slow and tired
Miles of children
A feast for the lions
No choice but to keep on
Don't listen to the bones crunching

Fear, despair, desperation
Sick from exhaustion
Destination
Hope
Rest and nourished,
Nursed back to health
Kindness and love
Help from a stranger
The opportunity to start living life again
in America

Only to find more of the same
Pushed away
Racism, crime, drug addiction
A whole new set of problems
Slave wages, college debt
Crushing all hope left
Void, emptiness,
this soulless culture doesn't heal
Beaten, robbed, killed
