Refugees Songtext
von Jimmy Cliff

Listen, I′m a full G that's a refugee
My family paddled through the seas
Made it through day but the night is calling
Load on they back like when camels walking

We gon′ make it through the odds
Every day that we live is blessing in disguise
Do unto others as you would have done it to you
Listen, that's just the word from the wise

We live for the fate but we die on the truth
'Cause the proof only show that you care about you
About us, if you really do give us this time
We got women and children at the border line
Jimmy Cliff told me that, maybe rivers to cross
Came to help but cover the cause

They said that Jesus Christ went to Egypt for refugee
They say the Israelites cross the red sea for refugee
Prophet Mohammad seen his followers to Ethiopia for refugee
People running here and there, looking for a home


Refugees, seeking to be free
Refugees, looking for safety
Refugees, all over this land
Refugees needs a helping hand
Well, couldn′t they be someone like you and me?

There was an exodus from Europe to America
Now there′s an exodus from the Middle East to Europe
Yes, there's an exodus from Africa to Europe
People running here and there, looking for a home

Refugees, seeking to be free
Refugees, looking for safety
Refugees, all over this land
Refugees needs a helping hand
Well, couldn′t they be someone like you and me?

Refugees, running from stress and strife
Refugees, seeking a better life
Refugees, from sea to sea
Refugees, seeking to be free
Well, couldn't they be someone like you and me?

Refugees, seeking to be free
Refugees, looking to be free
Refugees, from sea to sea
Refugees needs a helping hand
Well, couldn′t they be someone like you and me?
