If I could write down those memories
If I could paint your sorrow in diaries
Words would never mind
Colors would never mind
My ink also would never mind
But I couldn´t find
That ink which could write down your story
Those images which could picture your worry
If I could paint your sorrow in diaries
Words would never mind
Colors would never mind
My ink also would never mind
But I couldn´t find
That ink which could write down your story
Those images which could picture your worry
That color of joy which could wipe your tears and sighs
Because today, all the colors can effuse your eyes
I could never find
Words that could describe a single tear
I am sorry,
It was more than words could bear“¦
If I was asked what I would be in that life,
A word ? a hero ? a state ? a knife ?
I would choose to be a camp
Only a camp can be Superman today
Only a camp can be the united nations today
Only a camp can be the international community today
Only a camp can be the globe, the world´s charity organizations,
The human heart, the human hug, and the human tender,
Because today, all the colors can effuse your eyes
I could never find
Words that could describe a single tear
I am sorry,
It was more than words could bear“¦

That can never belong to any human but humanity
The lost dream of today
Only a camp can be a hero today
Only a camp can dry tears and wipe a sigh
Only a camp can hold a refugee
Just like a country, just like a mother, just like a lover
And only the whole world can kill a refugee
With his eyes and prayers and crocodile tears
With his catchwords , songs, denounces, lies and fears
Yeah, only camps can guarantee heaven in wartime
Only camps can gift the refugee some love and some home
Only camps can be torn with the refugee´s body by a bomb,
By a militia, by a missile, by the wind
Only camps care, only camps mind
Only camps can stay until the last moment with a refugee under the sun
Only a camp can be a man
