Kansas - Refugee lyrics

[Verse] In darkness you are walking in a world you're all alone In a search for freedom very far away You've been shaken by brutality and driven from your home By an evil that will never go away [Verse] Every moment you're surrounded by the sheer insanity When the nightly terror knocks upon your door And you know the time has come to leave your family and flee But the thought of leaving chills you to the core [Chorus:] God please, please protect the children And put her on a path where she'll be free Give solace to her fate with all her innocence And give sanctuary to this refugee [Verse] After months of pain and crying you arrive where you believe You'll feel the comfort of a helping hand But they close your eyes to freedom and they're forcing you to stay In a dark world you could never understand [Chorus] God please, please protect the children And put her on a path where she'll be free Give solace to her fate with all her innocence And give sanctuary to this refugee [Bridge] Oh, what's become of us? Is it right to hide our heads within the sand? Oh, what's become of us? Are we so blind that we can't understand?
