Lyrics
Run, Habibti, Now Run! V1 Her husband and son Are the blood on her blouse Which stained the debris Of what was a house Her mother's last words were Run, Habibti, Now Run! Pre-chorus She's a drop in an ocean Of refugee souls A swell that won't stop And oh, what a toll Chorus Past barbed-wire borders She hurries along Driven by waves of despair ...Past angry red scrawls On signs that inform her In capital letters …She's not welcome there V2 The pains have begun Though she's still on the tracks She longs to lie down But no going back Her mother's last words were Run, Habibti, Now Run! Pre-chorus She's a drop in an ocean Of refugee souls A life without war Their desperate goal Chorus Past barbed-wire borders She hurries along Driven by waves of despair ...Past angry red scrawls On signs that inform her In capital letters …She's not welcome there Instrumental bridge Chorus Past barbed-wire borders She hurries along Driven by waves of despair ...Past angry red scrawls On signs that inform her In capital letters …She's not welcome there Outro 'Run, habibti' Run, habibti' 'Run, Habibti, Now Run!' © 2015 Donna Devine
