lyrics

They Don’t know how it is for you moving in this world
They Don’t know how it is for you moving in this world
They don’t know how it feels to be living in this world
Arriving in this world
Surviving in this world

They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They
They Don’t
They Don’t Know

They don’t know how it feels to be stolen from that place
They don’t know how it feels to be taken from that space
They don’t know how it is for you moving in this world
Thriving in this world
Surviving in this world

They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They Don’t Know
They
They Don’t
They Don’t Know

Stolen Stolen
The people are stolen stolen
The language is stolen stolen
The culture is stolen stolen
The people are
The people are

They don’t know
They don’t know
How it feels to no longer belong
They don’t know
They don’t know
How it feels to no longer belong
They don’t know
They don’t know
How it feels to no longer belong
They don’t know
They don’t know
How it feels to no longer belong
