Gregory Porter, Common, Keyon Harrold, Andrea Pizziconi, Jasson Harrold - Running lyrics

Can you see strength in my eyes?
I used to sleep through the night
Then horror came
There were no lights, no sirens, just guns
It was violent and we had to run or die

I’m running i’m running
I’m running i’m running

So much time wasted in tents
Seventeen years inside a fence
I ran from the war, homeless, no school
No future
I’m a ghost, but not finished, I will rise!

Say, ooh, are we all alone?
Say, no, I’ll never forget my home

Running from the place that I know
I’m running, what direction should I go?
I’m running, so tired and so worn
I won’t stop until I’m safe and strong

Where I'm running to is
Running through my mind
Always on the run am I running out of time?
Darkness in my way I pray
That the sun will shine
Started from the bottom and
That was underlined by the place that I'm
From sometimes is un­divine
I hear them songs of freedom
And they running through my mind
Close my eyes imagine a place next to me
Where I no longer can be labeled a refugee
Destiny, oh, somewhere down these dark roads
Yeah, we the lost tribe but
We found our souls
Cold rain, all pain, I left along the way
I fight through the night
Just to find a stronger day

Running from the place that I know
I’m running, what direction should I go?
Keep running, so tired and so worn
I won’t stop until I’m safe and strong

O-o-o-o had to flee the place you love
O-o-o-o tough as nails when things got rough
O-o-o-o
Many fathers told their sons and daughters
Say oooo
Don’t stop running ‘till you’re home!
Say oooo, Refugee song
Say oooo, Refugee song
Say oooo, Refugee song
Say oooo, Refugee song
