lyrics

It could happen to you
In an instant
What would you do if you lost your family now?
If you’re forced to be poor
Caught in someone else’s war
And the propaganda tells ya there’s a shining beacon on a hill
Would you look the other way and give up your free will?

It could happen to you
In an instant

What would you do if you lost your home now?
If you had no where to go
Would you set out on the road
With the loneliest of hopes
Leaving everything you’ve ever known behind you for another shot?
Could you find something inside you, that courage but can’t be bought?

It could happen to you
In an instant.

What would you do if you’re kids were starving now?
Would pack them up today
Trying to keep the wolves at bay
Cause there is no other way
But a politician says you shouldn’t cross an arbitrary line?
What would you do if it meant your children’s lives?

It could happen to you
In an instant

This guy has a something to say, he's really coming clean, some unpleasant truths too. "Hello, My Name Is Henry" is my favourite track. Excellent songwriting! Dietmar Leibecke
