Lyrics
The roadmap to freedom translates as a fake
The path to freedom is falsely presented or deceptive.
Handshakes and mistakes
Agreements and errors
Turned into heartaches when losers have lost
Errors turn into emotional pain when those who have lost become losers.
All their give and their take
Everything they've given and taken is lost.
And check a mistake turn to heartache
A mistake turns into heartache, emphasizing the consequences of errors.
Five hundred thousand forced to flee
500,000 people are compelled to leave their homes.
A million square miles of emergency
An extensive area of one million square miles is in a state of emergency.
Another two million will go hungry
Additional two million people will face hunger.
When there's no guarantee for the refugee
Refugees lack a guarantee for their future.
The road from Darfur runs red with denial
The path from Darfur is marked by denial, possibly of basic rights or acknowledgment.
Waterless mile after waterless mile
Miles without water symbolize a harsh and inhospitable journey.
Barefooted fear kicks the dust of exile
Fearful individuals, barefoot and in exile, leave a trail of dust.
Waterless mile after waterless mile
Reiteration of the difficult journey without water.
Five hundred thousand forced to flee
Repetition of the plight of 500,000 forced to flee.
A million square miles of emergency
Repetition of a vast emergency area of one million square miles.
Another two million will go hungry
Reiteration that two million more will suffer from hunger.
When there's no guarantee for the refugee
Emphasizes the lack of assurance for refugees' well-being.
The road out of Gaza
The route out of Gaza is troubled, marked by lost lives in graves.
As plagued with lost souls buried in holes
The path is hindered by lost souls buried in holes.
By the border patrols
Border patrols contribute to the challenges faced by those seeking the way out.
What claims we've give them
Whatever rights they claim to have given, they cannot control and are drowned.
They cannot control drown in the holes
People suffer in the metaphorical holes in their land of lost souls.
In their land of lost souls
Reiterates the idea of lost souls in the land, possibly emphasizing tragedy.
