Running (Refugee Song) [feat. Common & Gregory Porter]
Running (Refugee Song) [feat. Common & Gregory Porter]
Can you see strength in my eyes?
I used to sleep through the night
Then horror came, there were no lights
No sun just guns and was violent and we had to run or die
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
So much time wasted in tents, 17 years inside a fence
I ran from the war, homeless, no school
No future, I'm a ghost but not finished I will rise...
Say oh, I'm all alone
Say no, I'll never forget my home
I'm running from the place that I know
I'm running what direction should I go?
I'm running, so tired and so worn
I won't stop until I'm safe and strong
Where I'm running to is running through my mind
Always on the run am I running out of time
Darkness my way I pray that the sun will shine
I started at the bottom that was underlined
But the place where I'm from sometimes it's undivine
I hear them songs of freedom the are running through my mind
Close my eyes imagine a place next to me
Where I can no longer be labeled a refugee
Destiny calls somewhere down these dark roads
Yeah, we the lost tribe but we found our souls, cold rain
Old pain I left along the way but I'll fight
Through the night just to find a stronger day
I'm running from the place that I know
I'm running, what direction should I go?
I'm running, so tired and so worn
I won't stop until I'm safe and strong
Say you, had to flee the place you love
Say you, tough as nails when things got rough
Say oh, many fathers told their sons
Say oh, and their daughters don't stop running til you're home
Say oh, refugee song
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
I used to sleep through the night
Then horror came, there were no lights
No sun just guns and was violent and we had to run or die
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
So much time wasted in tents, 17 years inside a fence
I ran from the war, homeless, no school
No future, I'm a ghost but not finished I will rise...
Say oh, I'm all alone
Say no, I'll never forget my home
I'm running from the place that I know
I'm running what direction should I go?
I'm running, so tired and so worn
I won't stop until I'm safe and strong
Where I'm running to is running through my mind
Always on the run am I running out of time
Darkness my way I pray that the sun will shine
I started at the bottom that was underlined
But the place where I'm from sometimes it's undivine
I hear them songs of freedom the are running through my mind
Close my eyes imagine a place next to me
Where I can no longer be labeled a refugee
Destiny calls somewhere down these dark roads
Yeah, we the lost tribe but we found our souls, cold rain
Old pain I left along the way but I'll fight
Through the night just to find a stronger day
I'm running from the place that I know
I'm running, what direction should I go?
I'm running, so tired and so worn
I won't stop until I'm safe and strong
Say you, had to flee the place you love
Say you, tough as nails when things got rough
Say oh, many fathers told their sons
Say oh, and their daughters don't stop running til you're home
Say oh, refugee song
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
Say oh, refugee son
