I was born a refugee
And I don't know if I'll ever see
The old farmhouse I've heard about
But it's where I belong, there is no doubt
'Cause my whole family is from that farm
And we never did nobody harm
And if you're confused by what you've heard
Let me boil it down to a single word
(Chorus)
I wanna go home...
And I have heard my grandpa say
That on the street most every day
The neighbors' kids would kick a ball
With my dad when he was small
We were Christians, they were Jews
But it was no big deal, religious views
So it was strange when at the point of a gun
Across the river we had to run
(Chorus)
We had dabkeh, we had songs
And we all knew where we belonged
There in the land where Jesus stood
Now we're scattered everywhere
But there's no peace anywhere
I'm just searching for some kind of sign
For some way back to Palestine
(Chorus)

I left my dear home in Ireland.
It was death, starvation, or exile.
And when I got to America,...
I was at a demonstration
Somewhere in this great nation
They were eating meatball subs
They were swinging billy clubs
Then there came a thunderous noi...

Apartment complex shakes
Just before it crumbles
Children scream and die
Wrong time, wrong place
