about

We’re short of saints these days, but when refugee caravans go marchin’ in, they need our back.

lyrics

When caravans approach our lands
when caravans approach our lands
Well I want to be in that number 
When we all can lend a hand 

When families are forced to flee 
To the land of the Not Quite Free 
Well I want to be in that number
When we welcome the refugee

Economies are broke and bent
By the 1/10th of 1% 
Dictatorships deployed 
Local industry destroyed 
We say enough, let the people be free

And when our friends must emigrate
Escaping terror from the state
Just like refugees 
Throughout history
They will Make Our Country Great 

Boss Tweet harangues 
He talks of gangs
They’re coming here to kill, he barks 
But we know it’s just a distraction
From the rule of oligarchs 

The USA has had its way 
The IMF and CIA
Honduras and El Salvador 
We’ve got to open up the door 
Welcome in strangers and kin 
Welcome in 

So welcome in 
Strangers and kin
Let’s live together 
We all win 
You’ve got the freedom to be moving
Your life to be improving
Welcome in welcome in welcome in
