Immigrants
When you came from across the sea
What were your dreams of a new life to be
Leaving home was such a big step
Hopeful of better things without regret
Was your home torn apart by war
With dictators and war crimes in store
And bombs that rained down on you
Destroying lives and loves too
You left family behind not to be seen again
Thousands of miles away without a friend
Were their tears shed in loneliness
And making do for the best
Did you put down new roots in a new land
To raise your family and make new plans
You came to terms between this land and you
Now part of the country your whole life through.
