ANTHEM for KOSOVO

A new Anthem for Kosovo was released on April 14, 1999, titled
"Between a Rock and a Heart Place". This heartfelt contemporary anthem was written and released for the benefit of Albanian refugees in Kosovo who suffered incredible abuse at the hands of the Serbs. All profits from the sale of this CD single will be donated to major relief organizations such as World Vision who are, at this very moment, feeding and caring for children and families in Albania and Macedonia refugee camps. Please join us in support of this new song (which will be linked here soon) by calling your radio station and requesting it. More information and related links will be available soon at this address. The CD began shipping on April 13th to news networks and radio stations.

From the songwriters of the classic hit "Cry Me a River" and the #1 top-40 child abuse anthem, "Dear Mr. Jesus" comes a song that relates to the crime and pain these refugees are currently enduring. Please share a copy of the lyric with others.

Between a Rock & A Heart Place (Anthem for Kosovo)

There's a broken heart for every shot that rings through Kosovo

There's a sinking ship of dreams down the muddy ration line

They stole your pride, they burned your homes, and drove you out of Kosovo

You've used up all your luck and you're running out of time

Lost in a world where children's dreams are sold and bought

There's nowhere left to turn as long as you are caught

 

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Longing for your home but you're not welcome anymore

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Running for your life, a broken refugee of war

 

You hide in no-man's land or head for Macedonia

But no matter where you go you're a victim of their crime

You walk the railroad track, with crying children on your back

Pushed down for so long you don't know how to climb

The guns of fear and anger have driven you so far

Each step a cold reminder home is never where you are

 

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Longing for your home but you're not welcome anymore

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Running for your life, a hungry refugee of war

 

I don't know how you keep on shining through the rain

Hostages of hope..... Prisoners of pain

 

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Longing for your home but you're not welcome anymore....

Between a Rock and a Heart Place

Running for your life, a lonely refugee of war
