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

 Her papa go to war
 He gonna fight
 But he just don't know what for
 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

 She's a pretty face
 But at the wrong time in the wrong place
 She's a pretty face
 Her mama say one days she's gonna live in America
 Yeah, America

 She's a refugee
 She's coming man, she's coming -- keep you company
 She's a refugee
 Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America
