I could see them burning down All the bridges round my town So I left into the night And I stole down the river
The refugee is wandering home
And after I was freed I left the road and I made for the trees And I lost myself in there I forgot about hate and dispair
The refugee is wandering home The refugee is wandering home
Ah
And all at once I saw the light There was no pain I could not fight There was no wrong I could not right If I just hold hope in my sight If I just hold hope in my sight
The refugee is wandering home The refugee is wandering home The refugee is wandering home The refugee is wandering home
