Now We Are the Aliens

We're singing those old rebel songs

They thought they'd banned

Some fortitude on our voyage

To unknown lands

I reassure all her concerns

With little belief

Damaged by life, nearly spent

Two refugees

Will they welcome us?

We're the aliens

Who knows

Friend or foe?

Arms opened wide

Or fists clenched?

How will they judge us now we're the aliens

I don't know

We pose no threat

for we come with peaceful intent

Please focus on what unifies

Not what's different

Who knows

Friend or foe?

Will they empathise

Or demonise?

Well we're only lowly homo sapiens

Will they welcome us?

We're the aliens

Who knows

Friend or foe?

We're the aliens

Through the tension I dwell on my failures

She placed her faith in this empty saviour

Sad, I know...
