|
I was born a refugee |
|
And I don't know if I'll ever see |
|
The old farmhouse I've heard about |
|
But it's where I belong, there is no doubt |
|
'Cause my whole family is from that farm |
|
And we never did nobody harm |
|
And if you're confused by what you've heard |
|
Let me boil it down to a single word |
|
(Chorus) |
|
I wanna go home... |
|
And I have heard my grandpa say |
|
That on the street most every day |
|
The neighbors' kids would kick a ball |
|
With my dad when he was small |
|
We were Christians, they were Jews |
|
But it was no big deal, religious views |
|
So it was strange when at the point of a gun |
|
Across the river we had to run |
|
(Chorus) |
|
We had dabkeh, we had songs |
|
And we all knew where we belonged |
|
We grew crops, life was good |
|
There in the land where Jesus stood |
|
Now we're scattered everywhere |
|
But there's no peace anywhere |
|
I'm just searching for some kind of sign |
|
For some way back to Palestine |
|
(Chorus) |
