Oh, Oh

She's the refugee

I see your face

I see you staring back at me

Oh, Oh

She's 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



Her papa go to war

He gonna fight

But he just don't know what for

Papa go to war

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



Help me

How can you help me?



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



She's a pretty face

But at the wrong time in the wrong place

She's a pretty face

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

Yeah, America



She's a refugee

She's coming man, she's coming -- keep you company

She's a refugee

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