Aleppo - Brazzaville

Aleppo in Spring was calm

And migrant birds would sing

Now it’s gone away

It’s all just dust and bones, and hate

Aleppo’s gone

She took all my loved ones with her

It’s time to move on

To the unknown

A rusty old boat

Smugglers and nasty weather

The European coast

Sadness and hope

With my law degree

I’m still a rain soaked refugee

Far away from home

There’s still some Aleppo in me

But Aleppo’s gone

She took all my loved ones with her

It’s time to move on

To the unknown

A rusty old boat

Smugglers and nasty weather

The European coast

Sadness and hope
