The Refugee - Lyrics by Sarah Mclachlan


Lyrics
Woah, woah...

She's the refugee.
I see your face
I see you staring back at me

Woah, woah...

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


Woah, woah...

Her papa go to war

He gonna fight

But he don't know what for

Woah, woah...

Her 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 promise land


Woah, woah...

She's a pretty face

But at the wrong time
In the wrong place

Woah, woah...

She's a pretty face

Her mama say one day she's gonna

Live in America

Yeah, America


Woah, woah...

She's a refugee

She's coming back, she's coming
Keep you company

Woah, woah...

She's a refugee

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