Omar Esa
Refugee (A Story of Struggle and Hope)
Verse 1:
I'm just a stranger
Trying to find my way
I used to have a home
But now I'm astray
Running from the memories
Of how I was betrayed
Searching for humanity
All I do is pray

Pre-Chorus:
Oh Allah, You're the only who
Knows what I have gone through
I put my faith in you

Chorus:
Refugee
That is what I am
Ya Ilahi
I need your helping hand
I don't know where to go from here
It's like the world wants us to disappear

Verse 2:
I'm just like you
We are all the same
All I hear is lies about us
We're not to blame
The picture of my life now
Doesn't have a frame
We are standing here, alone
Nothing to our names
Pre-Chorus:
Oh Allah, You're the only who
Knows what I have gone through
I put my faith in you

Chorus:
Refugee
That is what I am
Ya Ilahi
I need your helping hand
I don't know where to go from here
It's like the world wants us to disappear

Bridge:
I am a refugee
That is what I am
And that is what they call me
Ya Ilahi
We need your helping hand
We did not ask for war
We are victims of society

Chorus:
Refugee
That is what I am
Ya Ilahi
I need your helping hand
I don't know where to go from here
It's like the world wants us to disappear
