If your house was burned out because of war I’m pretty sure you’d try to escape to make a better life for yourself. Welcoming refugees is the central message of this song. The opinions aired in verse 2 are heard far too often in public discourse, but the pain and desperation of being a refugee - and the huge benefits we get from having them in our midst - is not heard often enough.
