Refugee

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 ignoreThe 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 beI 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 dreamsSome 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 speakMost every place that I go
I am greeted with suspicious eyes
As if a man on his knees has some disease
That mankind must despiseI 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 familyI 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 dreamsI am a refugee, I am a refugee
Like a ghosts I've returned
I was caught up and burned
In the machine that created meI 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 familyI 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 dreamsI 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
