lyrics

Standing at the water’s edge
Painting pictures in her head
Like words that go unsaid

Looking out from shore to shore
There is always something more
Her hand is on the door

To leave those days so far behind
Weeping wounds within her mind
Where you’re born is not your definition

But no-one hears her when she cries
Like star across the sky
She’s got heaven in her eyes

Mama says little girl peace is round the bend
Close your eyes and get some rest
But turning to the sea she says

Do they know how it hurts to be the ones left out in the cold?
Do they know how it hurts to be alone?
To be forsaken by your own

Englishmen choose to accuse
Seen the pictures on the news
And they want a better view

See them choosing to pretend
Got so much here to defend
So much to defend

And so we wait for the day when they realise
If they looked though another’s eyes
We’re all the same inside

Do they know how it hurts to be the ones left out in the cold?
Do they know how it hurts to be alone?
To be forsaken by your own
Forsaken by your own
Forsaken by your own

Do they know how it hurts to be the ones left without a home?
Do they know how it hurts to be alone?

Do they know how it hurts to be the ones with no place to go?
Do they know how it hurts to be alone?
To be forsaken by your own
