Beautiful So Alone

Always acted with suspicion, I've got a bad taste in my mouth

And we all hate to feel rejected but some things we never talk about

Like new borders and new checkpoints and this constant need

To define and shut out "the others" from you and me

Cold sweat running down the neck at airport check-ins

Cause freedom ends and it dies where unions and walls begin

Scribbling cheap shots of small notes I wouldn't call it poetry

Cause you're alive and you are illegal when you just wanted to be free

You got heart you are full of soul

So beautiful so alone

Comes autumn you look for rescue and some good news to comfort

So you start hoping but try to make up some reasons not to

Like new treatise of free movement for the chosen few

And in this world of new economy there is just no room for you

You got heart you are full of soul

So beautiful so alone

No one's illegal

No more nation states

No more borders

I just can't wait
