Lyrics
Verse 1
Marching down Helsinki streets
Faces cold but the words cut deep
Children scared to ride the train
Shouted slurs under winter rain
Silence covers what they see
But hatred’s loud in the air we breathe
Can’t push it under, can’t pretend
Truth’s more bitter than they’ll admit
Pre-Chorus
They turn away and close their eyes
But pain does not dissolve with lies
We keep receipts from every scar
Justice calling from afar
Chorus
Why you judging me by my skin
When all I want is to begin
Life in a place I call home
Still you leave me all alone
Post-Chorus
Carry on, carry on
We belong, we belong
Chorus
Why you judging me by my skin
When all I want is to begin
Life in a place I call home
Still you leave me all alone
Post-Chorus
Carry on, carry on
We belong, we belong
Verse 2
Snow on the ground but the pain’s the same
You look at me, think I don’t know your name
Started from nothing, trying to find my way
Still I see the doors close every day
Pre-Chorus
Sideways glances, stories old
I just want a hand to hold
Hearts can change, truth unfolds
We all bleed red, that’s the goal
Chorus
Why you judging me by my skin
When all I want is to begin
Life in a place I call home
Still you leave me all alone
Post-Chorus
Carry on, carry on
We belong, we belong
