“Living Like a Refugee”
You left your country
to seek refuge
in another man’s land
You left your country
to seek refuge
in another man’s land
You will be confronted
by strange dialects
You will be fed
with unusual diets
You got to sleep
in a tarpaulin house
which is so hard
You got to sleep
on a tarpaulin mat
which is so cold
Living like a refugee
is not easy
Living like a refugee
is not easy
Living like a refugee
is not easy
Living like a refugee
is not easy.
~ Lyrics to “Living Like a Refugee” by Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars
