NOTHING IS FOREVER

NOTHING IS FOREVER We lived in a house we called our home We lived in a house by a lemon tree We lived in a house where mum made bread We lived in a house at the edge of the sea Nothing is forever a leaf falls from the tree the sun comes up waves cross the sea We didn't ask for men with guns We didn't ask to be chased away We didn't ask for rain to never fall All we asked was we want to stay Nothing is forever a leaf falls from the tree the sun comes up waves cross the sea We ran from the place we called our home We ran from the place where the bombs fell we ran from the place where the land was dry All we took was the stories we tell Nothing is forever a leaf falls from the tree the sun comes up waves cross the sea Now we are here and we call it home Now we are here learning how to cope Now we are here and mum makes bread Now we are here learning how to hope Nothing is forever a leaf falls from the tree the sun comes up waves cross the sea
