Refugee

Sweetheart runnin' from the derelict
Outcast, castaway
Young love on the border run
That perfect renegade
It's hazardous, you feel powerless
Eyes ravenous, lookin' for your happiness
You're anxious, it's frightening
But my lights are oh so bright and

We gonna shine down wherever we go
We gonna shine down, I'm guidin' us home
We gonna shine so we're never alone
We go hand in hand
We go hand in hand

Refugee
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Did you find your higher ground?
Refugee
Where are you now?
Man lets you down
Did you find your higher ground?
Did you find your higher ground?

Concrete covered in the blood wash
Claimin' sacred land
Swearin' on the Bible but
It don't mean nothin' now
'Cause we're prisoners in perimeters
Inhibitors not too dissimilar
We're anxious, it's frightening
But our lights are oh so bright and

We gonna shine down wherever we go
We gonna shine down, I'm guidin' us home
We gonna shine so we're never alone
We go hand in hand
We go hand in hand

Refugee
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Did you find your higher ground?
Refugee
Where are you now?
Man lets you down
Did you find your higher ground?

Oh, the sun'll come up in the mornin'
Oh, the sun'll come up in the mornin'
Oh, the sun'll come up in the mornin'
When we're gone
Refugee
Not an' eye on what a mess we're in
Should be tearin' down the walls
For a place we call home

Refugee
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Did you find your higher ground?
Refugee
Where are you now?
Man lets you down
Did you find your higher ground?

Oh, the wolves
Don't need a thing
We gon' run where the people happy
We gon' run where the people free
Refugee
Where are you now?
We gon' run where the people happy
We gon' run where the people free
Refugee
Did you find your higher ground?
Are we still a refugee?
You still a refugee?
