The Only Savior

by Binu Tharakan - Taurus

With few coins and a soiled note
I lived most of my life as an alien
When I walked on the land, they told me 
"You walked on the sea"
When I was blind in the dark they told me 
"You are the lamp and the light"
When I starved for food, they told me 
"You are the bread of life"
When I lost my way, they told me 
"You are the only way"
And when I looked for help, they told me
"You are the only savior"
They welcomed me with red carpet, but
I was walking over my people's blood
They ate my food, drank my wine
And left all my pains to me alone
Give me back my flesh and blood
Give me back my flesh and blood
