Refugees Lyrics by Meilyr Jones

2013

2015

Get up, switch off
Switch off your television
Start talking, you've been a long time looking
How do you speak with a voice that's true
And recognise what lies beneath
Well, it moves in you
Take off your clothes
You see a young man swimming
He is the light, and you are all the women
In the books that you're reading
And they don't cry
Woke by a song
I hear a lone bird singing
All chaos drops
I hear the birds sing back
With all the courage that I lack
But, get up, switch off
Switch off your television
Start talking, tell your boyfriend the news
If you weren't brave
Well, I couldn't be brave
I would just cry
There's work to be done
Then comes the fun
