lyrics

Daddy, I don't wanna fly home, I don't wanna fly home
I've seen those planes falling through the sky
Shot down by the enemy side, those children all died
Well I don't wanna fly home

Daddy, I don't wanna stay here, I don't wanna stay here
I've seen those men walking through our lands
With their guns in their hands, they're strong and they're angry
I don't know why they've come here

Daddy, I don't wanna walk home, I don't wanna walk home
I knew that girl who was walking alone
When those men took her clothes, they'd broken her bones
Worn 'til she bled on the side of the road
On that night she was walking home

Daddy, I don't wanna live here, I don't wanna live here
Why is there screaming and shouting and shooting
And fighting and fear, a wretched frontier
Well I don't wanna live here

Daddy, let's move away, let's move away
To a place in the world where the children all play
And their parents are safe, they work and they pray
Oh let's move away to this heavenly place

They won't let us in, they won't let us in
Why would they keep us out here
In the midst of this miserable sin, a hell everyday
Left out to fend like a dog in the rain
Are we to live here and die this way?
