Dreaming in Transit Songtext
von Obongjayar

Do you see all these dreamers?
Dreamers in the slums
Dreaming of colour
Living in a war

Do you see all my people?
My beautiful people
A beauty forgotten
Forsaken by our own

Don′t you turn your backs on us
Look what you've done
Look what you′ve done
Don't you turn your backs on us
Look what you've done
Enough is enough


War is ready
War is ready
War is ready (war, we′ve had enough, we′ve had enough)
War is ready (politicians shame on them)
War is ready (our teachers shame on them)
War is ready (we've had enough, we′ve had enough)

When I was young hoping one day I'll fly away
Nobody told me I had wings
Nobody told me I had wings

I don′t come from money
I don't come from memory
I have no inheritance
They′ve left nothing for me

Don't run away from this mess
Don't kill me and blame the world
Don′t kill me and blame your religion
You kill me, you′re killing yourself

Don't you turn your backs on us
Look what you′ve done
Look what you've done
Don′t you turn your backs on us
Look what you've done
Enough is enough


War is ready (politicians shame on them)
War is ready (our teachers shame on them)
War is ready (look what you′ve done, what have you done?)
War is ready (politicians shame on them)
War is ready (our teachers shame on them)
War is ready (we've had enough, we've had enough)

When I was young, hoping one day I′ll fly away
Nobody told me I had wings
Nobody told me I had wings
When I was young, hoping one day I′ll fly away
Nobody told me I had wings
Nobody told me I had wings

When I was young, hoping one day I'll fly away
Nobody told me I had wings
Nobody told me I had wings
When I was young, hoping one day I′ll fly away
Nobody told me I had wings
Nobody told me I had wings
