We see strangers at the gate
We close our eyes, hope it all abates
Yet we still hear knocking at our door
We ask ourselves, should we do more
Some answer the door
With heart so cold
Tear the children away
at the border they’re told
Children crying in cages
Late at night
For mama and papa
A heart wrenching sight
Where is the heart that burns
With emotions that churn for humanity
Where is the heart?
Are migrants so different from you and me
Dreaming of a life with no poverty
When we cannot take harsh reality
Uproot our lives and face uncertainty
This is now a familiar scene
Should we turn away
Hope it’s all a dream
Should we look inside
And try to find
Our heart, compassion
And say we mind
Where is the heart that burns
With emotions that churn for humanity
Where is the heart?
Where is the heart?
Where is the heart?
