lyrics

The west can mock its president
Draw cartoons of the confident
But there put freedom on the page
And soon will come a tide of rage

Keep down your eyes lest you incite
Reaction like a teenage fight
Like sheep crammed in without a light
Crossed the border dead of night

They turned off his electricity
For paper work, bureaucracy
That’s how we treat the refugee
Working in a factory

My brother stepped upon his mat
He didn’t make a point of that
He was too affectionate
His card with broken English sent-

to Mr David and his family
Christmas greetings from across the street
From the freedom writing mullah man
Who wrote for free Afghanistan

He was an educated man
From a strangulated land
With dignity he held his head
Refusing to be beaten yet

While he was trying all he could
To find someone who understood
So he could bring his loved ones home
To the place he hoped to call his own
