Refugee
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Refugee
Refugee
Issme Ahmed. I'm twelve years old
The town I come from is gone, I've been told
Mama and Papa were lost at sea
We wound up in Belgrade, little sister and me
We don't have much, but we get along
'Cause I've got a squeezebox and I know a few songs
Sister's got a flute. She can't play a lot
She gives that one note everything she's got
Refugee
Refugee
Issme Abu. I've got my papers in order
But I live in a tent by a fence at the border
Between one country out and one country in
Is fifty meters of grass. That's where we've been
Some call us names, but most pass us by
Some bring us food, and that's how we're alive
In this whole round world we've got nowhere to be
So we just keep walking, my family and me
Refugee
Refugee
Refugee
Refugee
Issme Asha. I come here on a boat
Full of so many people it could barely float
I've been raped and beaten and been all alone
I've walked through a desert full of human bones
There's nothing for me in this foreign land
The people talk a language that I don't understand
I've sat in this camp for almost a year
But at least the men are not coming to kill me here
