Lyrics On the Run - Kalandra

Rough and ragged over land and sea
Sacrificed it all for the means to be free
Hunters of fortune in the search for a home
Leaving all their loved ones for a place unkown
Rough and ragged...

You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Beneath the breaking waves
Reaching for the sun

There's a future along these shores
Will you join the chorus, dare to ask for more?
Watch the dreamers, they're just like you
Opportunity is only for the lucky few
There's a future...

You were forced to choose
To leave your world behind
Drifting with the tides
Afraid to cross the line

If you reach the shores,
Ask yourself once more
What will you become?

You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Always forced to choose at the barrel of a gun

Always on the news
(He's a foreigner, looks like a foreigner)
Fading with the views
(She's a foreigner, doesn't belong here)
Easy to ignore
(Can't ignore that...)
Until the come ashore

We tell stories from the home of the brave
Everyone's consuming the masquerade
If you want freedom, there's a price to pay
Yet everyone's been paying, and still, we're not the same
