This is the story of a lady who escapes her war torn home to risk a journey across the water for a better life.

lyrics

VERSE 1
She lives in a broken home,
has lost more than we could bare
She leaves her children in a grave unknown,
the search for someone who cares

CHORUS 1
Her life across the border,
her life on the run
No life across the water,
can be worse than this one.
So falls the setting sun

VERSE 2
She crossed her fingers with hope to float,
and safely land upon your shore
I’ll risk it all,
coz I can’t handle it anymore.

CHORUS 2
She was taken by the water
As the old boat sunk
No lesson life had taught her
can be worse than this one
So falls the setting sun….

BRIDGE
What have we become, we can see, we can hear
Blind eyes till this is done, cries fall on deafened ears
What have we become.
