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
Oh, oh - her papa go to war
He gonna fight, but he don't know what for
Oh, oh - 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 promised land
Oh, oh - she's a pretty face
But at the wrong time and in the wrong place
Oh, oh - she's a pretty face
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in
America
Yeah, America
Oh, oh - she's a refugee
She's coming back - she's gonna keep you company
Oh, oh - she's a refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in
America
