Myela - Nick Mulvey

It’s in my mind again

Troubled by the images I’ve seen

Eighteen months ago

They left their homes in the rubble of my Mayadeen

God only knows the pain you feel to leave your country looking for a home

But they’d rather die once in the sea than dying everyday a little more

They came to Lebanon

With another million desperate souls

Sing with Ibrahim and all the families at the Valley of Bekaa

God only knows the pain he’d feel to leave behind Faiza and Adeel

But they said, «Better to die once in the sea

Than dying every day you stay here with me.»

Myela, Myela, Myela, Myela

Her name is Sonia J

Twenty-one years old, she’s Sudanese

She’s four months pregnant now

Alone in Lampedusa, Sicily

God only knows how she survived so many other families have died

She says, «Please help me find a way to stay and give a future to the child I,

carry inside»

Myela, Myela, Myela, Myela

Oh, help me in my hopelessness and free me from the cage of civilization

Save me from my selfishness and my indifference to my neighbor

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

(I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

I am your neighbor, you are my neighbor

Myela, Myela

(Myela)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(Myela)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(Myela)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

(Myela)

Freedom from the cage of this supposed civilization

Myela, Myela

Come and get me

If you can

If you can

Come and get me

Come and get me

Come and get me

Come and get me

If you can

If you can
