Turning of Tides

For DE, from Paul
Featuring Gianna Di Lorenzo and Fintan O’Brien

Let me carry your load, it looks so heavy for you
Come eat some bread, I’ll break mine in two
How far have you come and what have you left behind?

You’re welcome my friend in this turning of tides
Willkommen mein freund in dieser schwierigen zeit

When did you last eat or sleep in a bed?
Did you travel alone or is that better not said?
Have you water to drink and shelter to hide?

It really is me who should be thanking you
For helping me remember what I should do
I don’t see the border but I’ve just seen the light

There is a question, “What would they do?”
Allah, Yaweh, Jesus, but what about me and you?
I don’t need no scripture to tell me what is right

You’re welcome my friend in this turning of tides
You’re welcome my friend in this country of mine
