Lyrics Refugee – K’NAAN
If I was gonna be free
I’d have to change my name
Mama don’t feel shame
Somebody call me refugee
My old name was all wrong
I’ve waited for so long
To decide my destiny
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
I am
I am
And I walked a long way
I am
But I was not at all alone
I am
Whole city gone astray
I am
Every suitcase held a home
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I’ll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
I am
There’s a weight inside my shoe
I am
Built a nest for those I grieve
I am
And no matter what I do
I am
They will always walk with me
They will always walk with me
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I’ll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
Take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I’ll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
And I’ll wear it proudly, refugee…
