I am everyman,
I am everywoman, every current,
every breeze,
I am in exile, looking for a home,
I am universal, a citizen of the world,
I am no trespasser,
I come in peace,
I am the colour of rainbows,
I drift among a mass of people,
seeking refuge, carried on storms,
I am a witness of the world of of poverty and war,
I was born into revolution, turmoil and strife,
in rubble to the sound of bullets and explosions,
my neighbours are dead, my friends are lost,
I have escaped persecution and oppression,
I am in search of freedom and hope,
but I am refused, and given no welcome,
I am vilified and abused, told to shut my mouth,
I ride waves of persistence, move in many directions,
I am the blood and soil of humanity,
I carry the kiss of diffrent languages tonque,
I arrive with the weight of dignity,
I have fled sleepless and anquished nights,
I am a world of believe and struggle,
moving onwards with memory and survival,
my voice rings out on all continents,
I am an endless river, releasing currents of endurance,
I am tired, but will not be silenced or confined no more,
I am a dream that never ever fades
