Women in search of safety
Children in need of food
Struggling for our freedom
So I am a refugee

Women of hope and courage
Living through poverty
Fleeing from war and terror
So I am a refugee

I am a teacher Hear my voice
I am a worker Hear my voice
I am a woman Hear my voice
And I am a refugee

I am a mother Hear my voice
I am a daughter Hear my voice
I am a sister Hear my voice
And I am a refugee

Fighting for education
Speaking my native tongue
Practicing my religion
So I am a refugee

Powerful and resilient
Seeing my people through
Sharing my truth and wisdom
So I am a refugee

I am a speaker Hear my voice
I am a dancer Hear my voice
I am a singer Hear my voice
And I am a refugee

I am a writer Hear my voice
I am a lawyer Hear my voice
I am a fighter Hear my voice
And I am a refugee

Women will come together
Linking our destinies
Guided by intuition
No longer a refugee

Women of strength and beauty
Driven by faith and heart
Moving our people forward
No longer a refugee

I am a builder Hear my voice
I am a seeker Hear my voice
I am a dreamer Hear my voice
And I am a refugee

I am a leader Hear my voice
I am a healer Hear my voice
I am the future Hear my voice
And I am a refugee
