[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]
