about

Inspiration comes from all sorts of places.
Abdulazez Dukhan. An 18 year-old refugee. I was moved by his story and his words... his plea and hope that America would be a safe place and that there would be people who truly care.

lyrics

Holding Roses - Kai Hong

We started by holding roses
With hope we held on tight
But the bombs keep on flying
Death falls from the sky

We left behind our homes
and those that we’ve lost
You have no idea
What your words mean for us

Faith moved us out and keeps us going
But now as a stranger here (as a refugee)
All we see are walls
Only walls and more walls

Borders kill dreams
No dreams kill the soul
Because for me one day
Maybe one day I’ll get to go home

To be safe somewhere in world
To have a home again
We hope you hear these words
We’re still holding roses
We're still holding roses
We’re only holding roses
