I saw her on the fences through all the borders
She's been a lot of places, sharks in the water
I only want her with me, bring on the trouble
Some never see her beauty, nor see the struggle
I'm a refugee
Come around here, come around here
You're a refugee
From around there, from around there
So go and tell your people
Bring them to my town
We gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
So go and tell your mother
Bring your sisters 'round
Cause we gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
Yeah
Let's burn one down
He saw a war was raging, had to escape it
She told the youths: "Get ready, they're gonna make it"
"Run for your life," she tells them, "the walls are breaking
Peace should be in your future, it's for the taking"
I'm a refugee
Come around here, come around here
You're a refugee
From around there, from around there
So go and tell your people
Bring them to my town
We gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
So go and tell your mother
Bring your sisters 'round
Cause we gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
Ooh, let's burn one down
I'm a refugee
Come around here, come around here
You're a refugee
From around there
So go and tell your people
Bring them to my town
We gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
So go and tell your mother
Bring your sisters 'round
Cause we gon' love your people
Let's burn one down
Go and tell 'em all, yeah
Go and bring your people 'round (one down, one down)
Maybe we can burn one down
Go and bring you sisters 'round (I'm a refugee and you're a refugee)
Maybe we can burn one down
She's been a lot of places, sharks in the water
I only want her with me, bring on the trouble
Some never see her beauty, nor see the struggle
I'm a refugee
Come around here, come around here
You're a refugee
From around there, from around there
So go and tell your people
Bring them to my town
We gon' love your people
