If That Doesn't Break Your Heart

lyrics

Anya really wanted to stay, but she couldn’t.
She wanted a better life for her kids, and who wouldn’t?
None of them had asked for this –
Their homeland being torn to bits
By those whose agendas simply disregard
The civilians whose lives will be so scarred,
And if that doesn’t break your heart, then you haven’t got one.

Omar had always dreamt of a career in law,
But he can’t see a future here anymore.
His teenage life has been ripped apart
Before it ever had a chance to start.
Each day listening to the falling bombs –
All alone, with all his family gone,
Well, if that doesn’t break your heart...

There is a story behind every refugee
Of a desperation so great that they had to flee.
On the run, faced with untold dangers,
They can only hope to meet the kindness of strangers,
So we shouldn’t recoil in fear.
Refugees should be welcome here,
Because if that doesn’t break your heart, then you haven’t got one.
