Artist: U2

Album: War

  • Songwriters: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Paul Hewson, Larry (jr) Mullen

Woah, woah
She's the refugee
I see your face
I see you staring back at me

Woah, woah
She's the refugee
Her mama will say one day
She's gonna live in America

In the morning
She is waiting
Waiting for the ship to sail
Sail away

Yeah, she gotta have

Woah, woah
Her papa go to war
He gonna fight
But he don't know what for

Woah, woah
Her papa go to war
Her mama say, "One day he's gonna
Come back from far away"



Yeah
Help me
How can you help me?

In the evening, she is waiting
Waiting for her man to come
And take her by her hand
And take her to this promise land

Woah, woah
She's a pretty face
But at the wrong time
In the wrong place

Woah, woah
She's a pretty face
Her mama say one day she's gonna
Live in America, yeah America

Woah, woah
She's a refugee
She's coming back, she's coming
Keep you company

Woah, woah
She's a refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna
Live in America

Ee oh ee oh
Ee oh ee oh
Ee oh ee oh
