You were just a little girl, your folks moved here to start new lives
You bought into the idea that your future would be bright
In your new home
You wouldn't have to hide
So you started here from scratch, made new friends on your first day
You felt safe for the first time, out in the open you could play
In your new home
You wouldn't have to hide
But evil comes in many forms
Ignorance comes in many shades
The world is under a raging storm
In your new home
And it took your precious life away
A world of hate, is a world in pain
Can't we realize, we're humans, and we're all the same
When darkness smothers us, together we must pray
For the ones, who gave away
Their lives
So you learnt a brand new language, at school you did well to keep up
All the other kids were nice to you, you found people you could trust
In your new home
You didn't have to hide
But you never would forget your roots, and so you never should
Your beliefs were at the heart of you, and people understood
In your new home
You didn't have to hide
But evil comes in many forms
Ignorance comes in many shades
The world is under a raging storm
In your new home
And it took your precious life away
A world of hate, is a world in pain
Can't we realize, we're humans, and we're all the same
When darkness smothers us, together we must pray
For the ones, who gave away
Their lives
Gather round, burn your candle
And shine their light
