The Refugee

Wa, war, she's the refugee

I see your face, I see you staring back at me

Wa, war, she is the refugee

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

In the morning

She is waiting

Waiting for the ship to sail

Sail away

Wa, war, her papa go to war

He gonna fight but he don't know what for

Wa, war, her papa go to war

Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away

Oh help me

How can you help me?

Oh

In the evening

She is waiting

Waiting for her man to come

And take her by her hand

And take her to this promised land

Wa, war, she's a pretty face

Born at the wrong time in the wrong place

Wa, war, she's a pretty face

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

Yeah, America

Wa, war, she's a refugee

She coming back, she come and keep you company

Wa, war, she's a refugee

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America
