Let us in:
Calais refugee song
1. When I open my eyes
I see a barbed wire fence,
and a hungry face and a broken tent,
when I close my eyes I see a man with a gun,
going round and round
and round and round in my head.
Chorus
Please give us a place at your table,
let us in, let us in.
Can you share of your salmon and honey
Our pain is your pain too
are rubbed red and raw
from a burning treck over Syrian sands
where my daughter was taken
right out of my hands
going round and round
and round and round in my head.
Chorus
3. And the bombs you sold
are the bombs we heard
crashing into dust with a blinding light.
And my mother and father both died that night
going round and round
and round and round in my head.
Last chorus
Please give us a place
at your table,
let us in, let us in.
Can you share of
your salmon and honey
Our pain is your pain too
Our hope is your hope too
Our life is your life too
