I am Sorry

It was a cold dark night

Sailing for Hopes for Dreams

An Island beyond the sea

A home of victory

A home that will

Now never be yours 


Flashes of light

In the torrent of the sea

Father and child

Held on tight

Struggled for their dream

Before my eyes

I saw their dream die

In the cold black pit of the sea

I want to say

I am Sorry

 

I am Sorry

To all voyagers

Of despair and courage

Their lost Hopes and Dreams

Crossing to

An Island beyond the sea

 

To the Hundreds of Souls lost on the journey to Lampedusa
