Cold like the river
Crept into my bed
I sleep while my brothers
Are walking north instead
Oh there’s the water
Rushing round their tread
As borders grow wider
Their fears are in my head
Oh I’m the man with his house upon his back
He is thirsty, we are thirsty
Oh I’m the woman with her kid around her neck
She is lovely, we are lovely
Hands of another
Cake my feet with sand
As borders grow wider
Their fears are in my head
And cries of a mother
Ring across the land
She made us dinner
With broken blistered hands
Oh today you’re thirsty
Oh tomorrow it’s me
Oh today you’re hungry
Oh tomorrow it’s me
