Grains of Sand

from Where There's Blood by Gone Dead Train

/

about

Song about the tens of thousands of people fleeing war torn zones to seek refuge in Europe ..

lyrics

Grains of Sand

Have you seen those grains of sand
blowing in from a distant land
they sting your eyes as they hit your face
They dress the cars in lace...


HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE RAFTS AND BOATS
they're DRIFTING ROUND TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT
PEOPLE SAY A PRAYER AND THEY CRAM ABOARD
THEY RIDE THE STORM ...
THEY PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD
THEY PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD

Have you felt those rays of sun
They Caress your body as you're having fun
But there's somethin' you don't wanna see
People want to be free

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE SOUTH OF SPAIN
WHERE TASTELESS FRUITS are grow in' ON THE PLAIN
Exploitation and toxicity
The sun is shining
But this ain't no place to be

Have you seen those grains of sand
blowin' in from a distant land
they sting your eyes as they hit your face
dress the cars in lace
dress the cars in lace
