When I look into their faces
There are no traces
Of former times and places
The anguish inside their head
They hold back because they dread
So far away from their home
It makes them feel so alone
Just miles from us they are
But their distance seems so far
They pull back the curtain to peer at us
It doesn’t make sense it’s so unjust
Their saving power
In this dark hour
That soon one day and it is near
When finally comes an end to fear
Their faces will beam bright
When they can invite
Their loved ones in to hug and hold tight
