The Refugee song

Far away from the home that was once my own To a new land, not knowing what it has in store Amidst hostility and turmoil did I survive A senseless destruction that has prevailed The ethnic unrest that ceased to cease The fundamentalists had their hatred reserved for me For the minority had no voice of its own The cruel killing fields were tilled with scorn The fault they said was in my birth An irreversible identity that had nothing in it for me Unfailing the devotion for the country Sigh! This place seems to have betrayed me Still a hope abounds in the new land That I now call my home But the same love will never be As this country is not my own and a refugee will I ever be
