(Dedicated to the Afghans who have been driven out of their country)
I came across the border
Seeking work and a home
Some say I am out of order
But I can no longer roam
I want to be like every other man
To have my dignity and respect
Just let me come and plan
I have a family to protect
I am seeking a new beginning
I don’t need charity, just a chance
To earn a living
To do well and advance.
