It's good of you to ask me sir How I spend my days Water glass and ladders sir Working for my pay Back home I saw a future sir Learnt my father's trade But here that counts for nothing sir Paradise betrayed Looking through the windows All your world to see To you I'm just another refugee My mother needs the money sir It's hard to make ends meet Two more children still in school Hungry mouths to feed Looking through the windows All your world to see To you I'm just another refugee Now this country is my home This land of auctioneers Cast your eye upon me sir What price the dreams that brought me here? Looking through the windows All your world to see Forever just another refugee.
