Lyrics: Roufaida Aboutaleb/Nina Sampermans
Music: Roufaida Aboutaleb/Nina Sampermans
Look at them
Putting up a show
Above our heads
Old boys blow smoke
It stings our eyes
And it numbs our tongues
A bitterness
stuck in our lungs
We lay low
Holding our breath
Hands are tied
Behind our backs
Waiting for relief to come
Bring us home
We’re coming up for air
For air, for, for
We’re coming up for air
In prayer we are
We’re coming up for air
For air, for, for
We’re coming, coming up
We’re coming up for air
We rise ‘til the fire’s out
Ashes falli
ng from the clouds
None for all and all for one
Facing all the damage done
Eyes on fire, eyes on flames
We’ll remember every name
Eyes on fire, eyes on flames
