It was decided that this would be released as a stand alone single to highlight the very real and continuing plight of refugees around the world. All profits will be donated to the incredible work of 'Save The Children' UK.

lyrics

It starts with a man
But it ends with the kids
You think you’re building your tower
But you’re burning your feet
You call it progress
I think you’ve regressed
Too cold to notice

To gain some ground
For a noble cause
Isn’t noble at all

My head’s going under
Under the water
Please come to me faster
Can anyone hear my cry
Please God make me light up
I don’t want to die here tonight
Under the water
Under the water

It starts with bang
And then descending quick
You think your finding your power
But it’s making you weak
You call it process
How dare you protest
Too cold to focus

What’s it worth
Was it worth the cost
When you see them fall

My head’s going under
Under the water
Please come to me faster
Can anyone hear my cry
Please God make me light up
I don’t want to die here tonight
Under the water
Under the water

If you should come
I’m afraid; I can’t speak
Cos they’re dropping bombs
On the weak and diseased
And if you should come
I’m afraid; I can’t speak
Cos they quoted psalms
Know not what they speak

Under the water (Repeat x12)

(Help us we’re ready (Repeat))

about

Azumini London, UK

Writing in the desert of Kuwait has clearly influenced Singer/Songwriter Oliver Borrow (AKA Azumini). Far from being melancholic it's beautiful and gushing with hope.

Azumini writes and records on a laptop, whilst travelling across the Middle East and Asia.

Debut LP ‘Last Fire Burning’ in Feb 2016 and 2nd album 'Beyond the Desert Kush' in 2017. Forthcoming 3rd 'Daylight' is out in April 2018.
