Ahead I see the shoes
Well-worn from all the land
Gentle ones and kind

As well as bleak and baleful ones
We've seen
Our journey through decades


The auras of the world
Are always suffusing our heads

Faces passing by
Some to notice and some to forget


Our shadows stay behind
Where once we were condemned
To be slaves

Today nothing is left
But our bleached and battered
Skin and bones


Now our hearts arrived
Where our souls are still longing to be

Step by step we go
The road is long, the fate in our hands


Our way to the promised land
We seek to reach it soon
The land where we can linger after all

A place to just call home

Ahead I see a boy

His young hands outworn from hard work
Who defines his life
He is not the one who pulls the strings

But see
Our journey far away


We beg for freedom
But sorrow is all we receive
Too weak to fight against

But too strong to just accept without hate

These days are long ago

I turn my eyes to better dreams
We don't fear the dark
Cause we want to achieve an aim


From now on there's no mourn
Only laughter will be our guide

Now our hearts arrived
And our souls don't need to long anymore


Our way to the promised land
We seek to reach it soon
The land where we can linger after all

A place to just call home
