Seventy miles, that's all they cried, to better life, a chance So into boats they did climb, under dark and starlit skies With hopes and dreams like you and I, but fleeing war and fear Fingers crossed and hands hold tight, Lampedusa they do near And on goes life, but not for some Taken by the salty depths, and they'll never see the sun The wind whipped up to a frenzied beast, clawing at the sea The waves tall like mountains grew, and crashed like fallen trees They knew, but backs turned they sat, again didn't hear our cries Speak no, see no, hear no evil, turn and let us die And on goes life, but not for some Taken by the salty depths, never again to see the sun And on goes death, though the graveyards are full Where will tomorrows bodies lie, that from the sea we pull A prize for peace you don't deserve, Lampedusa's mayor declared Is this the way you 'stem the flow', and wash your guilty hands A telegram I do demand, for every life that's lost, Like it was white, one of our own, drowned out playing in the sun And on goes life, but not for some Taken by the salty depths, and they'll never see the sun And on goes death, though the graveyards are full Where will tomorrows bodies lie, that from the sea we pull Lampedusa bares a burden of pain, they see what most do not And fishermen cast flowers not nets to the sea at the set of sun And on goes life, but not for some Taken by the salty depths, and they'll never see the sun And on goes death, though the graveyards are full Where will tomorrows bodies lie, that from the sea we pull And on goes life, but not for some Taken by the salty depths, and they'll never see the sun And on goes death, though the graveyards are full Where will tomorrows bodies lie, that from the sea we pull
