Human Call from Flight by Nicolette Macleod

There’s a knock on the door
Hear a call
People asking for aid

You look through the hole
That you made
To keep you safe
From the outside world

Your life your home
A cloistered bubble
You protect your own

You don't want to know the human story
You’re so scared it might change you
Convince yourself you’re not connected
Close off the wider field of view

Fear blinds
Hate breads
Loss of humanity

You try to block change
From happening
Do you never think
This could be a blessing

There is a knock on the door
A human call
They're outside waiting

You don't want to know the human story
You're so scared it might change you
Convince yourself you're not connected
Close of the wider field of view

In your sheltered domain
Your safe and warm
You can you turn away

You fear their truth
Travelled and worn
What might they bring in

There's a knock on the door
A human call
Their outside waiting

There's a knock on your door
A human call
Answer or succumb to fear

There's a knock on the door
A human call
Open up and let them in

There's a knock on the door
A human call
Outside waiting

There's a knock on your door
A human call
Answer or succumb to fear

There's a knock at the door
A human call
Open up and let them in

There's a knock at the door
A human call
Open up and let them in

There's a knock at the door
A human call
Open up and let them in
