Refugee - Oi Va Voi

You ask me

Why it is I come to you

When someone else is just as good

I asked them but they said the same

Didn’t even ask my name

Explain to me

Just what it is you stand to lose

Spend a minute in my shoes

Don’t it feel like you’ve paid your dues

Already

I’ll show you

That all our fates are so entwined

Don’t lose your faith in humankind

Just don’t forget my state of mind

Is fragile

Together

We can enjoy the taste of dignity

As long as you believe in me

I’ll show you my reality

I’ve seen a few

You ask me

Why it is I come to you

When someone else is just as good

I asked them but they said the same

Didn’t even ask my name
