Someone stopped the clock

When we should have started early

If we miss the morning meeting

Our lives will be in danger

Someone's trying to stop us

There is someone in our party

It is someone with a grudge

And they won't let us reach the border

Our lives are in his hands

We pay with Krugerands

The currency of pain to help

Us leaving

While back in our homeland

The ones who make a stand

Are taken from their homes and

No-one hears of them again



I felt I had to come here

I thought things would be better

The situation's changed

But I find I'm still resented

Someone wants my job

It is someone in this building

Someone's spreading rumours

And I don't feel I can stay here

I think I'm going north

And now's the time to leave

The people there they say

Are good to strangers

And if I do my best

And try to settle in

I'm sure I can be just like

Someone's neighbour



I'm sure I can be just like

Someone's neighbour
