Dignified Lyrics

I've been up all night on this journey

It's almost light and I'm getting tired

My family and I traveled hundreds of miles

With the hope of feeling much lighter

The man at the gate says "Not way, there's no room

Can't relate, don't stay here, walk away."

I straighten up by back, and then I clearly state

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be taking that

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be going back

We pass through the gate but bad news, it's too late

"No beds for you" and so we must stand

A hateful choir sings a twisted melody

"This is not your land"

A woman she cries, "Look at them, violence in their eyes,

We should send them away."

My family unifies and in one voice replies

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be taking that

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be going back

This is my family

We brought what we could carry

And risked life and limb

To brave the tide

We only seek opportunity

To love and live freely

And raise up our children

Here with pride

Dignified

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be taking that

Yeah we've come this far

And we don't want war

But we won't be going back (back back)

Oh yes we've come (Yeah we've come this far)

This far (And we don't want war)

We won't be taking that (But we won't be taking that)

Oh no (Yeah we've come this far)

And we don't want war

But we won't (be going back)

We won't be going back
