A Day Away

A DAY AWAY
You wake up, it’s a brand new day
The sins of the past are tucked away
All is fine, things are going your way
The world turns, it’s just another day
But you look around
The world is not the same
The fires, the storms
The winds blow people away
Climate change is not real
So they say
But this future is only a day away
Six o’clock news
Looks war is coming our way
One button to push
The world is blown away
Now you ask yourself
How did it get this way
People look for change
But the world’s more scary today
And you look around
The world is not the same
Are we blinded by a cloud of lies and hate
Korea is far, but its fate will have a say
For all our lives
It could be a day away
You look down South
Hearts are filled with fear
Migrants’ rights are all taken away
By bus, on foot they try to find a way
Where to build their lives
To live another day
And you look around
The world is not the same
More people are poor
And the 1%, they do not care
There’s something else
You and I must fight for today
For our future, it’s only a day away
For our future is only a day away

The Wait

THE WAIT
I remember when I left
It was a sunny day
But my heart can’t feel the light
I had to go away
I look at their eyes
They’re filled with tears
My baby, can she tell
It will be years before I see her
All grown up, without me
And I wait for the day
When I see their smiles again
Our lives are torn by border rules
Who can come and who can stay
So we wait
We are migrants with hearts
We are pieces in a heartless game
Rich countries take our best
And throw away the rest
Survival is the name of the game
Our wealth, not ours to keep
It’s hardly fair, so many of us
Leave our country and tempt our fate
And I wait (and I wait) for the day (for the day)
When our lives are whole again
When we change, the power that rules
Who can come and who can stay
And we wait (and I wait) for the day (for the day)
When we fight and take what’s ours
We can stay back home
keep our loved ones close
Will I ever see that day?
And we wait
Should we wait?

Hidden Pain

HIDDEN PAIN
I never thought I’d see
Such pain and misery
Inside such a brave soul
The highs and lows you feel
Stirs emotions inside me
Wish through your eyes I can truly see
I wonder if they can see
The hidden pain we feel
Pain your mind can see
I’m amazed by your strong will
If I can take the load
I would take it if I could
It’s a load that all of us must bear
Is it up to me and you?
Ease the pain of many like you
Is the world there for me and you
I wonder if they can see
The hidden pain you feel
Pain your mind can see
But you have such strong will
Everyone aspires to be
Some concocted imagery
Of success, deemed by powers that be
But all we need is you
Serve the people, it's what you do
The world has hope because you are you
I wonder if they can see
The hidden pain you feel
As you strive for humanity
Inspire others, that you will
I wonder if people can see
The hidden pain we feel
As we fight for humanity
Change the world, someday we will

It's Never Enough

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH
The day seems long, you work to a sweat
The quotas go up, there’s no let-up yet
They don’t pay you what you deserve
Come home in the end, see the kids at last
Still hungry and poor, is this your lot?
The boss gets more, but it’s never enough
It’s never enough
We, workers, have it tough, life is rough
We ask for more but they shut us down
Cause profit is never enough
When you were young, they try to tell you
You work hard, dreams come true
But capital rains on your parade
One big charade
They work you hard, but not willing to share
You can ask for more, if you’re willing to dare
But to ask, you know is never enough
It’s never enough
We, workers, need to get tough
If we don't, no one else will do it for us
And we all know, we’ve had enough
There’s only so much that we can give
For us, life is something to live
So we go on strike,
But you know it’s never enough
They have all the power to wield
What’s left for us but take to the streets
But we all know, it’s never enough
It’s never enough
We, workers, need to get tough
If we don't, they’ll run us down
Cause profit you know is never enough
There’s only so much that we can give
For us, life is something to live
So we organize and fight, so we’ll have enough!
We’ll have enough!
We’ll have enough!

Hole in the Heart

HOLE IN THE HEART
What does one do
To see a loved one in pain
What does one do
When you lose someone dear
A hole in your heart
A warm place, now it’s cold
Deep inside, torn apart
You reach out for something to hold
All of us are on a journey
Where every moment counts
The lives we change,
The people we share with
Give meaning to our lives
There’s a hole in your heart
Don’t fill it with despair
Look around, take heart
People here who care
In the end, what really matters?
Is what we make of our lives
Is your life as light as a feather?
Or weighty as a mountain so high?
Fill the hole in our hearts
Build a just world for all
Fill the hole in our hearts
We never let ourselves fall
Fill the hoo-ooh…
Aah…
