[Verse 1]
Rough and ragged over land and sea
Sacrificed it all for the means to be free
Hunters of fortune in the search for a home
Leaving all their loved ones for a place unknown
Rough and ragged
[Chorus 1]
You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Beneath the breaking waves
Reaching for the sun
[Verse 2]
There's a future along these shores
Will you join the chorus, dare to ask for more?
Watch the dreamers, thеy're just like you
Opportunity is only for the lucky fеw
There's a future
[Chorus 2]
You were forced to choose
To leave your world behind
Drifting winds and tide
Afraid to cross the line
[Bridge 1]
If you reach the shores
Ask yourself once more
What will you become?
[Chorus 3]
You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Always forced to choose
At the barrel of a gun
[Bridge 2]
Always on the news
(He's a foreigner, looks like a foreigner)
Fading with the views
(She's a foreigner, doesn't belong in here)
Easy to ignore
(Can't ignore that...)
Until they come ashore
[Outro]
You told stories of the home of the brave
Everyone consuming the masquerade
If you want freedom there's a price to pay
Yet everyone's been paying
And still we're not the same
