I rode a boat across the sea
With an orphan on my knee
In breaking tides we came ashore
Just to knock upon your door
Will you take us in?
Will you shine a light?
Will you feed the ones
Lost inside the night?
Will you give us hope?
Will you hear our plea?
Will you dry the tears
Of the refugee?
When the troubles came I lost my home
And all the tender things I had known
I prayed to God for my survival
Paid a hard price for safe arrival
Will you take us in?
Will you shine a light?
Will you feed the ones
Lost inside the night?
Will you give us hope?
Will you hear our plea?
Will you dry the tears
Of the refugee?
Without a family
Without a sweetheart
Without a dollar in my hand
Seeking only
A sign of kindness
I set out for your promised land
Will you take us in?
Will you shine a light?
Will you feed the ones
Who are lost inside the night?
Will you give us hope?
Will you hear our plea?
Will you dry the tears
Of the refugee?
