about
Written at the height of the refugee crisis, or at least at the time when it was hitting the headlines. The plight of refugees around the world seems sadly to be a never ending story
lyrics
Not A Choice
What do you expect of me?
I am a father, someone’s son
My wife, my family
Are my one concern you see
Why must it be this way?
This road is all that’s left for me
It’s not a choice you’d want to make sir, believe me
It’s not a choice you’d want to make sir, believe me
I need you, I need you
I need a helping hand
I need you, I need you
I need a helping hand
What can I expect of you?
A few small crumbs of empathy
I am not an immigrant
A threat to your security
Why must it be this way?
My country turned its back on me
(It’s not a choice you’d want to make sir, believe me)
I need you, I need a helping hand
(It’s not a choice you’d want to make sir, believe me)
I need you, I need a helping hand
(It’s not a choice)
I need you, I need you
(Believe me)
I need a helping hand
(It’s not a choice)
I need you, I need you
(Believe me)
I need a helping hand
