My name is a refugee and I am here to see the things we share all of you and me
I come from Syria and Palestine my idol isn’t bin Laden but Albert Einstein
Like each one of you I went to school cried on the first day and the rest was cool
When I grew up sometimes I was dumb but I had my first love not my first bomb
Life suddenly changed and the war begun I had no shelter neither a gun
Some of us escaped more remain dead but the truth is not what they said
Our home was a cemetery or so it seems if they don’t kill you they bury your dreams
But I am mighty the world is mine and once again my sun will shine
I came through borders shores and seas with a thought in my mind would I find peace
