Composed by Kim Kirkman and Patricia Roche. Multicultural,Pop,World. 8 pages. Kim Kirkman #6795731. Published by Kim Kirkman (A0.779700).Just to live is a song written from the perspective of a refugee.
It has a timely and moving message about heart-break and the plight of people forced to leave their homeland.
The final verse has a descant.
Lyrics are:
From the hatred in our homeland,
Through the terrors of land and sea,
We fled from certain death,
Seeking peace and harmony.
We come seeking life, with only what we wear.
Does no-one see our plight? Will no-one hear our prayer?
All we want is to live in freedom;
All we want is to live in peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
The light of hope is fading,
dimmed by dark despair.
We could see the gates of paradise.
We were almost there.
We come seeking life, with only what we wear.
Does no-one see our plight? Will no-one hear our prayer?
All we want is to live in freedom;
All we want is to live in peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
Heart broken and exhausted,
we grieve for the lost:
Our loved ones tortured, killed;
Survival has a terrible cost.
All we want is to live in freedom;
All we want is to live in peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
All we want is to live in freedom;
All we want is to live in peace;
All we want is to live.
Only live. Just to live.
Let us live.
