Send Them Back (To Where?)
​Verse
Back home I worked in industry, back home I'm highly-skilled
Back homee I had a family, back home they all were killed
Back home I had the perfect life, back home I had it all
Back home a gun was held to me, my neighbourhood would fall
​
Chorus
So send them back, I hear you call​​
Send them back to where?
Send them back from where they came
They can't go home, when no home's there
​
Verse
I travelled across my border, I travelled for my life
I travelled many hundred miles, with thoughts of my past life
I travelled West for sanctuary, I travelled West for work
I travelled over deserts, whilst hampered in my search
​
Chorus
So send them back, I hear you call​​
Send them back to where?
Send them back from where they came
They can't go home, when no home's there
​
Verse
I made it to a boat in France, I made it to the shore
I paid for it with all I had, but still they wanted more
They took me out on vicious seas, in a boat that barely floats
They promised me a life so fine, they promised me false hope
The boat capsized we had to swim, a full mile out to sea
So many couldn't swim, they disappeared
'Til no-one left but me..
So send them back, I hear the call, turn me round at sea
Turn me round, there's no more room, I hear them scream at me
But ask yourself what would you do if you were here not me
Would you stay and risk the bullets?
Or would you risk the open sea?
​
Chorus
So send them back, I hear you call​​
Send them back to where?
Send them back from where they came
They can't go home, when no home's there
