Someone stopped the clock   When we should have started early   If we miss the morning meeting   Our lives will be in danger      Someone's trying to stop us   There is someone in our party   It is someone with a grudge   And they won't let us reach the border      Our lives are in his hands   We pay with Krugerrands   The currency of pain to help   Us leaving      While back in our homeland   The ones who make a stand   Are taken from their homes and   No-one hears of them again      I felt I had to come here   I thought things would be better   The situation's changed   But I find I'm still resented      Someone wants my job   It is someone in this building   Someone's spreading rumors   And I don't feel I can stay here      I think I'm going north   And now's the time to leave   The people there they say   Are good to strangers      And if I do my best   And try to settle in   I'm sure I can be just like   Someone's neighbor      I'm sure I can be just like   Someone's neighbor
