dreams of leaving þarký sözü

someone stopped the clock when we should have started early
if we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger
someone´s trying to stop us, there is someone in our party
it is someone with a grudge and they won´t let us reach the border

our lives are in his hands, we pay with krugerands
the currency of pain to help us leaving
while back in our homeland the ones who make a stand
are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again

i felt i had to come here, i thought things would be better
the situation´s changed but i find i´m still resented
someone wants my job it is someone in this building
someone´s spreading rumours and i don´t feel i can stay here

i think i´m going north and now´s the time to leave
the people there they say are good to strangers
and if i do my best and try to settle in
i´m sure i can be just like someone´s neighbour

i´m sure i can be just like someone´s neighbour
