Refugee lyrics - 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
