A Time for Courage at the Borderlands Lyrics

When the sea that stole your loved ones
Is still safer than the land,
When the forest dies,
The water dries,
The soil turns to sand.

Stay and watch your children die
Or run and they might survive,
Evade the pigs at the border,
Unflinchingly ruining peoples lives.

Can you imagine the horror
Of a fence they won't let you through?
Another country refusing help,
What if that was you?

What if what was needed
Was another pair of hands,
Active solidarity,
The skills that you have?
What if all it took
To help get people through
Was someone else who could resist,
What if that was you?
