[Leo Sayer - Refugees lyrics]

We are lost we are homeless
Doomed to sail forever on this stormy sea

When we left here we gave up all we owned
Chased by the devil that stole our homes

And we may never see
The beauty of our land again
No backward glance
No history, no home, no claim only shame

We are old we are many
Crowded to the gunnels on a broken boat

We seek food we seek shelter
We seek arms around us to give us hope

But we may never find
A welcome on your foreign shore
We know the odds are stacked against
The coloured, sick, the weak and poor

We could be you we share the same blood
So why's our fate so different
In this human flood?

So you chase us you despise us
Divide us up with your looks
And your shallow words

So we survive in limbo
Or come to you illegally
We may share the soil
But we will never be unchained and free

And when we disappear
You'll never get to see us flee
They will hide us from you
Say it's for your liberty your sanity

We are lost we are homeless
Homeless hopeless
