We're singing those old rebel songs
They thought they'd banned
Some fortitude on our voyage
To unknown lands

I reassure all her concerns
With little belief
Damaged by life, nearly spent
Two refugees

Will they welcome us?
We're the aliens

Who knows
Friend or foe?
Arms opened wide
Or fists clenched?

How will they judge us now we're the aliens
I don't know

We pose no threat, for we come with peaceful intent
Please focus on what unifies
Not what's different

Who knows
Friend or foe?
Will they empathise
Or demonise?
Well we're only lowly homo sapiens

Will they welcome us?
We're the aliens

Who knows
Friend or foe?
We're the aliens
We're the aliens

Through the tension I dwell on my failures
She placed her faith in this empty saviour
Sad, I know
