I've Looked Around
We are refugees.
We've landed on your shores. Many drowned at sea.
Don't chase us from your doors You've heard our children's voices. They’re hungry, so they cry.
In your garbage we find food.
We must eat, or we will die.
Have you seen my people?
I've looked around. I've looked around.
Did they called out any names?
I've looked around. I've looked around.
Were they naked, were they hungry? I've looked around. I've looked around.
And what about the children?
I've looked around... I've looked around.
Forced from homes at gunpoint. In the middle of the night.
They packed us onto trains That rode till morning light.
I saw them take our neighbors, And pull them to the side.
In a concentration camp,
I saw the way they died. (Chorus)
We’re from Chile, we’re from Ireland, Croatia and Vietnam.
We’re from Palestine, Rwanda, India, and the Pakistan.
We’re from Russia, China, Cuba, we are German, Polish Jews. We are Myanmar Rohingya. We are Native through and through.
I've seen people walk a thousand miles. For asylum through a gate.
Risking jail and deportation,
To stand and beg and wait.
The guards took a baby,
From a nursing mothers breast. America is great,
But this cannot be her best.
Have you seen my people?
I've looked around. I've looked around.
Did they called out any names?
I've looked around. I've looked around. Were they naked, were they hungry?
I've looked around. I've looked around. And what about the children?
I've looked around. I've looked around. Have you seen my people?
I've looked around. I've looked around. Did they called out any names?
I've looked around. I've looked around. Were they naked, were they hungry?
I've looked around. I've looked around. And what about the children?
I've looked around. I've looked around
