Resilient Shores

(hmmmm) Left my home behind with a heavy heart

Crossing borders just to find a brand new start

Now my hands are calloused from the morning shift But they look

at me like I am just a risk

Underneath the shadows of the high-rise wall We build the dreams but

they watch us fall

I am standing tall under the same blue sky

Though they look right through me with a cold,

cold eye

With every sunrise my spirit will cope We are built on courage,

we are kept by hope

(yeah) Paperwork and flashing lights at every turn

Still we pay the price for the bread we earn

But the soil knows the sweat we gave to this land

Even if

they never shake our calloused hand

I am standing tall under the same blue sky

Though they look right through me with a cold,

cold eye

With every sunrise my spirit will cope

We are built on courage,

we are kept by hope

We are kept by hope... (hmmmm)
