Refugees

Into the great unknown In fear of losing our home With the stroke of a pen Threatening to erase us Our lives can be revoked Hard won rights in limbo When your shield's on the books It's thin as the pages Well I'd never take us for renegades But when I hold your hand we look menacing So now the tide could change for us suddenly And we'll need to run I swear I'll keep us free No border crossing will rip you away from me Hold on tight, I'll never let them take you I know it might turn out to be The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees Hold on tight, our love will help us break through Our time is running low When will we lose our coast? In the wind and the rain They ain't gonna save us When they need to take control We'll be deemed expendable When there's nowhere to live They won't need to cage us Well I'd never take us for renegades But when I hold your hand we look menacing So now the tide could change for us suddenly And we'll need to run I swear I'll keep us free No border crossing will rip you away from me Hold on tight, I'll never let them take you I know it might turn out to be The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees Hold on tight, our love will help us break through When they changed up the regime We knew we'd be losing sleep We laid our best plans Filled our go-bags with our dreams And, oh, I hope we find our friends But I know I'll be with you till the end Well I'd never take us for renegades But when I hold your hand we look menacing So now the tide could change for us suddenly And we'll need to run I swear I'll keep us free No border crossing will rip you away from me Hold on tight, I'll never let them take you I know it might turn out to be The rest of our lives as rainbow refugees Hold on tight, our love will help us break through Oh my god, I never thought it'd be this soon No more time, no waiting to be rescued Hold on tight, I'll never let them I'll never let them take you Hold on tight, our love will help us break through And we'll run --- Refugees - Dog Park Dissidents
