Dreams From The Diaspora by Reardon Love Lyrics
[Monologue]
We're at one with war
And war isn't just military verses military
It's fighting every day for an equilibrium
Regardless of who you are or where you come from
Where you lay your head or make your bed
Who you happen to share that bed with
If your ostracised for being an outsider
I've only got one thing to say to you
If the people are against you
The future is yours
Grasp it
[Verse]
Growing up is painful
Being aware of your displacement
Is the rust on the razor
That threatens the throat
I see it in the diaspora
From Kraków Poznań Sofia
Violence owns us
England owes us
Its our home
[Chorus]
We're caught in a crossfire
We're at one with war
If the people are against you
The future is yours
In the crossfire
We're at one with war
[Verse]
Growing up is painful
Being aware of your displacement
Is the rust on the razor
That threatens the throat
I see it in the diaspora
From Sudan Iran Uganda
Violence owns us
England homes us
Irrespectively
[Chorus]
We're caught in a crossfire
We're at one with war
If the people are against you
The future is yours
In the crossfire
We're at one with war
We're at one with war
And war isn't just military verses military
It's fighting every day for an equilibrium
Regardless of who you are or where you come from
Where you lay your head or make your bed
Who you happen to share that bed with
If your ostracised for being an outsider
I've only got one thing to say to you
If the people are against you
The future is yours
Grasp it
[Verse]
Growing up is painful
Being aware of your displacement
Is the rust on the razor
That threatens the throat
I see it in the diaspora
From Kraków Poznań Sofia
Violence owns us
England owes us
Its our home
[Chorus]
We're caught in a crossfire
We're at one with war
If the people are against you
The future is yours
In the crossfire
We're at one with war
[Verse]
Growing up is painful
Being aware of your displacement
Is the rust on the razor
That threatens the throat
I see it in the diaspora
From Sudan Iran Uganda
Violence owns us
England homes us
Irrespectively
[Chorus]
We're caught in a crossfire
We're at one with war
If the people are against you
The future is yours
In the crossfire
We're at one with war
