The Crossing

A family desperate enough to try and flee their dangers by crossing a border undercover of the night. The father having pushed them through to freedom knows that he must remain behind.
He sends them to a new hopeful future with all the love in his heart, knowing that in all likelihood, he will never see them again.

Lyrics

One last chance for freedom
One time slipping away
One more family's journey
One last card to play

Eyes to the left and eyes to the right
Undercover of the night
The stars are not welcome
Fade into the black
They make the Crossing and don't look back

The Border lines are waiting
Not too far away
Leave behind all the madness
and those that had to stay

My baby girl, my little boy
I wish you joy
Take this gift
From out my heart
New hope and a new start
