Fortress Europe

So many people surviving on hope risking their lives to reach fortress Europe how do you choose which route take walk 2000 miles or take your chances to float The beaches of Lesbos ,where so many have died they have wept oceans ,these women that cry their children washed up on the shores of that land picked up like driftwood lying grey in the sand nameless and voiceless these lives that we've lost how can we recover what is the true cost? Cause after the Nazis ,we said "never again" and yet here we are relieving that pain How can they allow this, these powers that be to shut out these people, let them die in this sea The world never had borders ,till man came along and built up defences, and got so much wrong Let's have faith in each other, and let them in they've been through so much horror ,in the place where they've been give them back hope and a place to call home Show them love and compassion in some as who would wish anything like this on their own Let's get rid of these monsters ,who would have this so they can make more power and money make their machines go We don't wanna live in a fortress like this we want to live where theres freedom and bliss So let's knock them down ,any fences and walls Let's take them down and have freedom for all!
