[Chorus]

Wa-war, she's the refugee

I see your face, I see you staring back at me

Wa-war, she is the refugee

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

[Verse 1]

In the morning

She is waiting

Waiting for the ship to sail

Sail away

[Chorus]

Wa-war, her papa go to war

He gonna fight but he don't know what for

Wa-war, her papa go to war

Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away

[Interlude]

Woah

Go

Uh

[Bridge]

Help me

How can you help me?

Oh

[Verse 2]

In the evening

She is waiting

Waiting for her man to come

And take her by her hand

And take her to this promised land

[Chorus]

Wa-war, she's a pretty face

But at the wrong time in the wrong place

Wa-war, she's a pretty face

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

Yeah, America

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Wa-war, she is a refugee

She coming back, she come and keep you company

Wa-war, she is a refugee

Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America

[Outro]
