These refugee athletes have no national team to belong to;

they have no flag to march behind;

they have no national anthem to be played.

Therefore, we will welcome these refugee athletes to the Olympic games,

with the Olympic flag, and with the Olympic anthem.

10 athletes with no national team.

10 athletes with no national team. No flag.

10 athletes with no national team. No flag. And no anthem to call their own.

Until now.

I want to make music not just for Kurds and Arabs.

I want to make music for the whole world.

In Amsterdam, we found just the right person to make the flag.

Black and orange is a symbol of solidarity with all these brave souls

that had to cross the sea to look for safety in a new country.

Since I had to wear one, I also have a personal engagement

with the life vests, with these two colors.

Together, we're creating a nation.

A nation to honor the refugee athletes at the Olympic Games.
