I've been up all night on this journey
It's almost light and I'm getting tired
My family and I traveled hundreds of miles
With the hope of feeling much lighter
The man at the gate says "Not way, there's no room
Can't relate, don't stay here, walk away."
I straighten up by back, and then I clearly state
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be taking that
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be going back
We pass through the gate but bad news, it's too late
"No beds for you" and so we must stand
A hateful choir sings a twisted melody
"This is not your land"
A woman she cries, "Look at them, violence in their eyes,
We should send them away."
My family unifies and in one voice replies
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be taking that
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be going back
This is my family
We brought what we could carry
And risked life and limb
To brave the tide
We only seek opportunity
To love and live freely
And raise up our children
Here with pride
Dignified
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be taking that
Yeah we've come this far
And we don't want war
But we won't be going back (back back)
Oh yes we've come (Yeah we've come this far)
This far (And we don't want war)
We won't be taking that (But we won't be taking that)
Oh no (Yeah we've come this far)
And we don't want war
But we won't (be going back)
We won't be going back
