Refugee Lyrics - Singles - Paddy Casey

I am a refugee, I am a refugee 

I can see you but you don't see me 

I am a refugee, sometimes I'm just like a mirror 

A reflection of what you ignore 

The look on my face is just the disgrace 

Of the child you locked outside your door 

I am flesh and bone born of mother 

From a home that ceases to be 

I have walked these roads to long my friend 

To return to my family, I was born in a different time 

In a world not run by machines 

I am part of a time that is no more 

'Cept in my heart and in my dreams 

Some men they call me unlucky 

Some men they just call me weak 

They look on with shame as if I am to blame 

For something they dare not to speak 

Most every place that I go 

I am greeted with suspicious eyes 

As if a man on his knees has some disease 

That mankind must despise 

I am flesh and bone born of mother 

From a home that ceases to be 

I have walked these roads to long my friend 

To return to my family 

I was born in a different time 

In a world not run by machines 

I am part of a time that is no more 

'Cept in my heart and in my dreams 

I am a refugee, I am a refugee 

Like a ghosts I've returned 

I was caught up and burned 

In the machine that created me 

I am flesh and bone born of mother 

From a home that ceases to be 

I have walked these roads to long my friend 

To return to my family 

I was born in a different time 

In a world not run by machines 

I am part of a time that is no more 

'Cept in my heart and in my dreams 

I was born in a different time 

In a world not run by machines 

I am part of a time that is no more 

'Cept in my heart and in my dreams
