Salt of the Earth

SALT OF THE EARTH

W & m copyright Graham Seal 2008

We must go, we must go

We must go where the four winds blow

Salt of the earth. Salt of the earth 

We are broken and bloodied by the wars

We are scattered like the grains of sand upon your shores

Open your arms and hold out your hands

We are the children of all the broken lands.

We must go, we must go

We must go where the four winds blow

Salt of the earth. Salt of the earth 

We are the banished, exiled and disappeared

From the border posts, the war zones and the checkpoints of fear

We come by land, by air and by sea

We are the ones you call 'refugee'.

We must go, we must go

We must go where the four winds blow

Salt of the earth. Salt of the earth. Salt of the earth.
