lyrics

Gonna march outside that door today
Gotta run before my papa see
Left a note sitting side the tiled dresser
With a pen and note for him to keep


He said
“But why are you going?”
Gonna have to find and seek me
“What if troubles coming?”
Imma fight before I weep
“Don't you leave us worried”
Im a bird with a steel wing soaring
A refugee blood born in me


Oooo, do do doooo
Do do dooo,
Do do doo


Crooked man stole all our gold for fame
He didn’t know real gems lie underneath
Anointed hands my father gifted to this land
Can’t no bad man take away from me



He said
“But why are you going?”
Gonna have to find and seek me
“What if troubles coming?”
Imma fight before I weep
“Don't you leave us worried”
I’m a bird with a steel wing soaring
A refugee blood born in me


My refugee blood
You can’t take my freedom
My refugee blood
Can’t take my freedom
My refugee blood
Can’t take my freedom
My refugee blood can’t take my freedom
My refugee blood
Can’t take our freedom


No bad man can take my freedom

about

Arima Ederra Los Angeles, California

Waking up feels good. You should stretch when you wake—your voice, your hands, your knees. If it's early, it's just you and the trees and the songs will come visit you. The melody might come dressed like lightning bugs. It might swing down from the crest of a hill and brush over you like wind. When it does come, be ready to grab it fast. ... more
