I am driven to turn away from my land
I have no future in my days
And I'm uprooted like a crop gone bad
And lost in many different ways
And I'll never see my homeland again
Bound for places I've never been
I'm lonely and desperate as a man can be
I'm a refugee woah yeah
I must've walked a thousand miles to the shore
Just to save my life
And the pain of leaving my home once more
Cuts at my heart just like a knife
And I'll never see my homeland again
Bound for places I've never been
I'm lonely and desperate as a man can be
I'm a refugee woah yeah mmmm yeah
Well I wonder what lies ahead of me now
Will they respect me
And I feel I'll be forsaken anyhow
And I know I'll never be free
And I'll never see my homeland again
Bound for places I've never been woah
I'm as lonely and desperate as a man can be
I'm a refugee
Don't ask me why when you hear me cry
I'm a refugee
There's no hope I see for a man like me
I'm a refugee
Woah yeah
