I met a child in Belfast and Derry
the last of a tribe on the American prairie
down under I saw some old native sons,
a Kurdish girl faced by German guns
I saw the tears...
And I saw the tears of the last 100 years
of wars and oppression.
Of wars and oppression
broken dreams, human fears
in their eyes, in their eyes
Immigrant eyes on a German police station
in this land it's a normal situation
escaping from a civil war
to be mistreated by the German law
