Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves

Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward

It's not a place

Of drum and bass

You close your eyes to look around

For every welcome that is sought

Could be too late, but we still gotta try

There's a moment in our life where a soul can die

And the person in a country when you believe the lie
Em                           Am
The lie (the lie, the lie)

There's a promise in the heart of every good dream

It's a call to action, not to fantasy

The end of a dream, the start of what's real
Em                    Em
Let it be unity, let it be community
         G
For refugees like you and me
        Am
A country to receive us
Em
Will you be our sanctuary
Em               Bm
Refu-Jesus
