'Ameena' a true tale of migration - written and performed by Steve Jones - copyright control (Steve Jones 2020)
lyrics
Ameena
Sangatte Calais, Christmas Eve
The middle of the night
A 12 foot dinghy
I was 17 yrs old
As we headed towards the lights
Oh, the wind
Oh, the waves
Oh, the darkness
All a means to an end....To find a new Home
We fled Iran, then from Turkey to Greece
3 months in Calais to get the green light
How much would it be, to risk our lives at sea
6000 pounds... the man he said 6000 pounds
Oh, the wind
Oh, the waves
Oh, the darkness
All a means to an end
To find Home... Home...Home...To find a new Home
Some say we’re not welcome
Some say we’ve no choice
With no money, with no voice
26,000 deaths and rising.
