Refugee

You ask me,
Why it is I come to you,
when someone else is just as good.
I asked them but they said the same,
Didn’t even ask my name.
Explain to me
Just what it is you have to lose
Take a minute in my shoes
Don’t it feel like you’ve paid your dues already
I’ll show you,
That all our fates are so entwined
don’t lose your faith in humankind
Just don’t forget my state of mind
is fragile.
Together,
we can enjoy the taste of dignity
As long as you believe in me
I’ll show you my reality
I’ve seen a few.
You ask me,
Why it is I come to you,
when someone else is just as good.
I asked them but they said the same,
Didn’t even ask my name.
