Song for a Refugee
I breathe the air that you do
I drink the water just like you
I eat the fruits of this land
I hold the apple in my hand
I am
I feel the rain fall on my face
Like the rest of the human race
I hold my baby tightly when he cries
I see him when I look into his eyes
I am
When I walk for miles in the summer heat
Like you, I get blisters on my feet
When I cut myself, with blood I will perspire
When I try to climb over the wire
I am
