[Verse 1]
My dreams are breaking around
Mother Land is crying tears of blood
Her sons are struggling so bad
Is this our world they're burning?
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel like I'm going astray
But I gotta stay strong anyway
I'm taking that vessel today
To a land of milk and honey
[Chorus]
Mama l’m leaving today
Tell my brothers I'm running away
Mama please understand
[Verse 2]
I left full of hopes and dreams
My heart between hello and goodbye
Dreaming of that promise land
That's when I got caught in a storm
[Pre-Chorus]
The ocean closed my eyes
I will never see the light
I was just an asylum seeker
Looking for peace of mind
[Chorus]
Mama I'm leaving today
Tell my brothers I'm running away
Mama please understand
[Outro]
Oh Mama, oh Mama
Oh please forgive me
This promised land was just a dream
Just a dream just a dream..
Mama i left today
Tell my brothers I ran away
Mama please understand
