Refugee Lyrics by Dan McCafferty

Last Testament

2019

You know I have no I.D
I have never been free
And I feel in danger
Rubber boats that don't float
Trucks that don't go
All on my wait list

I have been told by the news
And by political views
I'm not welcome
But where I'm from is no more
Looking for friendly shores
There's not many

Lots of things I will miss
Like a family kiss
I must deal with this
Lots so much on the way
It's a life or death play
It's that serious

I can't go home
My country has gone
Now they renamed it
Without a state
I feel the hates
In the stares and the glares all around me

Another night in the camp
Where I live like a tramp
And hopes dying
Is there nothing out there
Except loss and despair
Is it even worth trying

With the sun comes the dream
And the volunteer teams
Try to help me
And as I look in their eyes
I see no lies
They see a man not a refugee

It's a new tongue to speak
But things that I seek
Can be found here
I have somewhere to live
And my heart I will give
To my new land

I want to live, love and be
I want to be free
Like I can't be
I am no more refugee
'Cause this land is free
Just like me

I have a home
My country of new
Has opened its' arms to me
Love conquered hate
No longer wait
In the camps and the borders that held me

I have a home
My country of new
Has given me faith
