Refugee

I dreamed I was a refugee

Alone and on my own

I dreamed I was a refugee

On a road without a home

I fell down on my knees

And prayed it was a dream

I died there on that road

No one to comfort me

I saw my children die

A sight I could not bear

I saw my wife fall down

And beg for mercy there

I saw a deep dark pit

Filled with the ones I love

I saw their bodies there

Face-down in the mud

I woke and found

That I was lying in my bed

I saw my precious love

And that we were not dead

I dreamed I was a refugee

Alone and on my own

I dreamed I was a refugee

On a road without a home
