F---- Bb- F--- Bb- F- C----
[verse]
F
We are lost
Bb F
We are homeless
Bb F C
Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea
F
When we left here
Bb F
We gave up all we owned
Bb F C
Chased by the devil that stole our homes
[pre chorus]
Bb
And we may never see
Gm Bb F
The beauty of our land again
Bb
No backward glance
F
No history, no home, no claim
C
Only shame
[chorus]
F
We are old
Bb F
We are many
Bb F C
Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat
F
We seek food
Bb F
We seek shelter
Bb F C
We seek arms around us to give us hope
[pre verse]
Gm Bb
But we may never find
F
A welcome on your foreign shore
Bb
We know the odds are stacked against
F C
The coloured, sick, the weak and poor
[verse]
F
We could be you
Bb F
We share the same blood
Bb F
So why's our fate so different
C
In this human flood?
F
So you chase us
Bb F
You despise us
Bb F
Divide us up with your looks
C
And your shallow words
[pre chorus]
Bb
So we survive in limbo
F
Or come to you illegally
Bb
We may share the soil
F
But we will never be unchained and free
Bb
And when we disappear
F
You'll never get to see us flee
Bb
They will hide us from you
F
Say it's for your liberty
C
Your sanity
[chorus]
F
We are lost
Bb F
we are homeless
Bb F
Homeless
Bb F
Hopeless
