  Who's to blame? (I came all alone)

Play (3:53)

 

I was a young boy. I was only nineteen;
far up in the north at a place where I had never been.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

I came from another country, but I chose this land for me.
I didn't look different from the others and the language came easily to me.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

But maybe my fault was that I drove a big foreign car.
Also I played in a band, played the drums and the guitar.

And, of course, I also had very long hair.
So maybe some people thought: look out and beware!

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

Anyway, I got this phone call; the police wanted to talk to me.
Somebody had accused me of things that couldn't be.

I went to the station. I wanted to tell the truth.
I wanted to show them that I was just a normal and innocent youth.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

When I came to the station the officer made me look outside.
He pointed at the church under a beautiful northern light.

He told me that the church was the only thing that was spared.
All the houses and everything was burned. He told me things I had never heard.

He told me about the war. He told me about a time
when my father was a little child; about a time that wasn't mine.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

He made me feel that I had to take all the shame.
He made me feel that I personally was to blame.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.

I came all alone. I went far away from home.
I left everything behind; a future I wanted to find.
