Composed by Robert Graham. Arranged by Robert Graham. Children,Christian,Instructional,Pop,Sacred. Octavo. 7 pages. Robert Graham #2968881. Published by Robert Graham (A0.933934).This song was written after the songwriter (Robert Graham) saw the image of tiny three old Syrian boy Alan Kurdi - who drowned at sea while trying to flee to Europe and whose body washed up on the Turkish shore. The subsequent reaction to this shocking image is what inspired the song - it is an attempt to understand why some fail to feel empathy for refugees such as Alan Kurdi - despite the clear and present need for empathy, compassion and action. The song calls on the listener to remember that - with a different role of the dice in life - anyone of us could be a refugee. The name says to all: "It Could Be You"
This arrangement is for an SATB choir but can also be performed by a soloist. It has a classic Beatles "Hey Jude" type of feel.
It is a great song for any individual or choir based at a church, school, or any other institution that cares about social justice
and human rights.
