Lyrics
She responds with pride
Directly into their eyes
It is difficult
But she doesn’t want to fall
They stand right in front of her
With their clean clothes
They won’t listen to her story
'Cause they belief
They know it before it is told
I'm sure you know those people
They exist everywhere
In every country
They turn their vague fear
Into targeted hate
They heard the name of her country
Too often in the last months
But still it is just letter after letter
No picture of a landscape
Nor of the houses
Nor of the bombings
Nor of the blood
Just her face
Among a million of others
And she is the one to realize
Those who throw a stone
Those who throw a stone
Believe they own it
She's gonna reach the boarder
And finds her way
She crawls through the fence
She won't let them take her rights
She dreamed of safety
And education for her child
But now she sits and waits
And waits and waits
'Cause there are so many of her
Her language is louder and faster than theirs
Her skin is darker
She came over the ocean
Water was her greatest hope
And her greatest fear
There was some sort of trouble
And they say it was one of her kind
And if one of them is mad
They must be all some sort of threat
They do not think a lot they rather react
But they are not the people like they use to claim
They are afraid to lose a little bit
Afraid to lose some comfort
And afraid of any change
How dare you how
How dare you how
My grandmother was a war child
How dare you forget your own history
And to claim to close the borders
And she is the one to realize
Those who throw a stone
Those who throw a stone
Believe they own it
She's gonna reach the boarder
And finds her way
She crawls through the fence
She won't let them take her rights
She dreamed of safety
And education for her child
But now she sits and waits
And waits and waits
'Cause there are so many of her
