She ran away from home in the morning while everyone was still asleep
And quietly stepped into the bright new day
His promise for the future was ringing in her ears
As she left her world behind and walked away
She was afraid he wouldn't be there, he was right on time
But here was something in his smile that wasn't right
He seemed stressed out and uneasy as he pushed her into the car
She heard the door slam shut behind her life
That's when it all came tumbling down, when the promises turned into lies
And all the dreams she thought she'd found suddenly died
He was tired of going nowhere, he was sick of being poor
So he took the chance they offered with both hands
To feed his wife and family he agreed to take a job far away in a strange and foreign land
He paid them what they asked for it was everything he had
They drove him to the harbour late one night
And with thirty other people In the back of an old truck
He saw his dream go sailing out of sight
That's when it all came tumbling down....
They were tricked, traded, trafficked, degraded they were goods to buy and sell
They came looking out for heaven and found hell
They were tricked, traded, trafficked, cheated, caught and caged
They started out with hopes of freedom and ended up as slaves
