lyrics

another line in the sand.

these lines in the sand
are nothing more than just lines in the sand,
but the meaning behind them
is causing them to grow faster and taller than bamboo chutes.
those on either side of the line
are not so different from the other.
we can keep drawing these damn lines,
but soon we’re gonna box ourselves in.

is that what you want?
what are you afraid of?

open the flood gates and let me in.
i am one of you,
just caught behind enemy lines.
just pick up a stick and draw
a new line in the sand

this is the most mobile generation
even with all these restrictions put in place,
and terrorism in western europe
is at its lowest point in the past forty years.

alright, look.
drawing lines and digging moats
will do nothing but isolate ourselves.
there’s a sense of false security,
but at what cost of our freedom?
most people willing to join us
are afraid of the same things as us,
and it’s probably all our fault anyway.
did you all just forget,
that we have soldiers on their soil?
so we can tear apart their country,
but we can’t give them a home?

no more war,
no more oil.
no more troops
on their soil.

now i just have one thing that i want to say
to all those considered asylum seekers or refugees:
welcome.

open the floodgates and let me in.
i am one of you,
just caught behind enemy lines.
just pick up a stick and draw
a new line in thesand
