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
