Lyrics

IT'S AMAZING TO ME THE LIVES WE LEAD
CERTAIN OF HAPPINESS THAT'S SURELY DUE
BUT WHAT OF THE WASTED ONES, FLOATING AIMLESSLY
IS IT A POINTLESS DREAM TO HELP THEIRS COME TRUE

CHORUS:
LOST NATIONS, LOST PEOPLE, LOST CHILDREN AT SEA
THEY COME TO FIND HOPE ON ANY VESSEL OF DREAMS
BUT WHERE ARE THEY NOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN REFUSED
THEY'RE STILL LOST NATIONS, LOST PEOPLE
LOST CHILDREN AT SEA

WE SHOULD ASK THE WORLD, OUR COUNTRY, OURSELVES
WHAT MAKES ONE SO WORTHY AND ANOTHER SO BANNED
IS IT STILL IN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS TO SAY
"HEY, IT'S MY RIGHT, LET THE OTHERS BE DAMNED?"

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
GIVE ME A REASON, TELL ME NO LIES
I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE WHEREFORES OR WHYS
CONSIDER THE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY DIE
NO MORE EXCUSES, NO ALIBIS

CHORUS

RISE ABOVE OUR ARROGANT SELVES
JOIN NATION TO NATION IS NOT SO ABSURD
HOW CAN WE BE PETTY WHEN THE WORLD IS AT STAKE
WHAT OF OUR ACTIONS, WHAT OF OUR WORDS

CHORUS
