They left footprints in the sand of a broken land,
Dreams shattered by the weight of tyrant hands.
Hearts heavy, eyes weary, yet they stand,
Seeking a haven, a place to understand.

Oceans crossed with tears mingled in the waves,
Stories of loss carried by the wind’s brave.
Silent prayers for peace, a life to save,
In the arms of strangers, courage they crave.

Through barbed wires and walls, they make their plea,
For a chance to breathe, to live, to be free.
Shadows of war, they flee from what they see,
In unknown lands, they search for family.

Hope is their beacon, guiding through the night,
In the darkest hours, they hold on tight.
Through struggle and strife, they fight the plight,
Refugees of the world, seeking the light.
