Ahead I see the shoes   Well-worn from all the land   Gentle ones and kind   As well as bleak and baleful ones   We've seen   Our journey through decades      The auras of the world   Are always suffusing our heads   Faces passing by   Some to notice and some to forget      Our shadows stay behind   Where once we were condemned   To be slaves   Today nothing is left   But our bleached and battered   Skin and bones      Now our hearts arrived   Where our souls are still longing to be   Step by step we go   The road is long, the fate in our hands      Our way to the promised land   We seek to reach it soon   The land where we can linger after all   A place to just call home      Ahead I see a boy   His young hands outworn from hard work   Who defines his life   He is not the one who pulls the strings   But see   Our journey far away      We beg for freedom   But sorrow is all we receive   Too weak to fight against   But too strong to just accept without hate      These days are long ago   I turn my eyes to better dreams   We don't fear the dark   Cause we want to achieve an aim      From now on there's no mourn   Only laughter will be our guide   Now our hearts arrived   And our souls don't need to long anymore      Our way to the promised land   We seek to reach it soon   The land where we can linger after all   A place to just call home
