lyrics

And then this cold blue shade of the night ascending into something new
Tired eyes and leather seats, we feel comfort, you let me take the hand of yours
So we sit in this cab headed to the highway east right on the edge of town
Just to put our ghosts and this place behind, at least for a while
Are we fully aware what we're about to do? In retrospective I can't say that I am
But we believe we earned this so why should we care to bat an eye, we are on our way

As we pull up the driveway
Right in front of the gate
Can't wait for our departure
We say goodbye and pay
While we feel love and we feel joy and we feel freedom a different kind of an arrival takes place

There is at least some warmth carried by rays of light, falling through the dusty windows of an old van
Silence building up until it's more than unbearable, layer by layer as it consumes time and space
It was still early morning as they knocked at the door while the kids they had breakfast, getting ready for a school trip
Made them pack up fast, nothing big, just necessities, no more than just one suitcase for each person
They knew the destination though they'd never even been there before, and they don't know the language
Well at least not the kids, but that don't matter, cause according to the law it is fair and right

As they pull up the driveway
Right in front of the gate
Struck by fear of departure
Seconds from going astray

In the departure lounge
Is where it all will end
From there to different beginnings
No way to make amends

Who dares to tell you
What place you're calling home?

Then on the runway
While boarding proceeds
Where our glances intersect
Seems like we do the same
Those stories unfold
Intentions differ
No way of taking it back
For leaving our homes

No bounds by nationalities
No boarders that dictate your home
The end of deportations
Safe spaces instead of new walls

Who dares to tell you
What place you're calling home?

Those stories unfold
We need to be aware
They're not about what's different
But only similarities
