Another Country

Everything you hear and see hammers home a new reality …wishing things were how they used to be. Everything they say and do blaming folks who think or look like you. Make a plan to leave this land today.

Another country Always in your mind Another country Another one behind

Everyone you ever knew far away and calling out to you. Wondering what there is that you can do. Find a home and find a job. Find a way to dodge the mindless mob saying here there is no home for you.

Here - where they welcomed you Here - it can happen too

On the screen and on the street, growing anger driving up the heat. Blaming folks who dress or pray like you. Nothing starts except to end. Everything that ends begins again. Another country looms ahead again.

Laugh if you want, but you know the joke’s on you. Doubt if you like, but deep down you know it’s true.
