K'NAAN - Refugee

[davidboaz]

As a refugee myself I completely resonate with the first line "If I was gonna be free, I'd have to change my name.
Mama don't feel shame, " it sparks a lot of emotions especially when you know what refugees go through on a daily basis.

[ifraahaxmed]

As someone who has been a refugee for the biggest chunk of my life, this brings tears and whole lot of emotion

[DanHeather]

One of the few truly humanitarian artists out there. K'naan, keep singing.

I am a 40 y/o, white, female, suburban from birth, Canadian citizen. Your music has always resonated with me. Something about it cuts deep and transcends ALL of the culture lines. Its universal. Been a fan since Dusty Foot Philosopher and I still play troubador start to finish on the regular. I check in with your socials from time to time to see if you're dropping anything new and somehow this song flew under my radar until i saw you at the Grammy's! Congratulations! Your award is so well deserved and I hope it'll be start of something incredible for your next chapter. It's wild to me how under-recognized you are. Hoping we won't have to wait another decade for something new :)

I was born while my parents fleeing from home, lived in IDP’s for some time and had been working as humanitarian aid worker since 2013! Alxmdulilah I’m the Director of a local NGO that helps those in need! I can feel the pain. I’m from Somalia 🇸🇴 🙌

LYRICS:
"Refugee"

If I was gonna be free, I'd have to change my name
Mama don't feel shame, somebody call me refugee
My old name was all wrong, I've waited for so long
To decide my destiny, somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
I am
I am

And I walked a long way
I am
But I was not at all alone
I am
Whole city gone astray
I am
Every suitcase held a home

Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee

I am
I am

I am
There's a weight inside my shoe
I am
Built a nest for those I grieve
I am
And no matter what I do
I am
They will always walk with me
They will always walk with me

Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee

I am
I am
Take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me

I am
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee

I am
I am
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee
