Lyrics
A child who is carried doesn't realize just how far the journey is
Still we move forward
Give thanks to the most high, safe journey all the while
Oh oh oh oh yeah
See, until I can feel free to walk on the streets
In my own country where I was born
Until there is no one trying to eliminate me
For the party that they appease
Don't hold your breath for me
Cause I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be a sitting duck you see
I'll be a refugee, not seeking sympathy
I'm just a refugee, if that's the way it's gonna be
Just a refugee, not seeking sympathy
Just a refugee, living overseas
Until the flag we fly so proudly
Becomes a symbol of peace, hope and prosperity
Tell me how can I live where there's no love
None for you, none for me
I'll be a refugee you see
So don't hold your breath for me
Because I don't wanna be no sitting duck you see
I'm just a refugee, seeking no sympathy
I'm just a refugee, and that's the way it's gonna be
A refugee, just a refugee
I'll be a refugee, not seeking sympathy
Ooh wee yeah, refugee wee wee wee wee wee
Until there's true love and harmony
Let's learn to live with each other in unity
And then you realize the fight is not against us
In the father whom I put my trust
Cause I don't wanna trust in love
Don't hold your breath for me
Cause I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be no sitting duck you see
I'll be a refugee, not seeking sympathy
Refugee wee wee wee wee wee
I'll be a refugee, not seeking sympathy
Just a refugee, living overseas
