Refugee

	You ask me,
	Why it is I come to you,
	when someone else is just as good.
	I asked them but they said the same,
	Didn’t even ask my name.

	Explain to me
	Just what it is you have to lose
	Take a minute in my shoes
	Don’t it feel like you’ve paid your dues already

	I’ll show you,
	That all our fates are so entwined
	don’t lose your faith in humankind
	Just don’t forget my state of mind
	is fragile.

	Together,
	we can enjoy the taste of dignity
	As long as you believe in me
	I’ll show you my reality
	I’ve seen a few.
