Lyrics
The Only Home I Know
(c) 2003 Kimon/Ultrascene Entertainment
I'm in Kosovo 1999
I'm in Gaza and what used to be Palestine
Northern Cyprus when the Turkish tanks rolled in
The wrong side of the wall in East Berlin
Always staring down the barrel of a gun
No where to hide, I've got no where to run
This is the only home
The only home I've come to know
In Guatemala where a death squad hunts me down
A Chinese prison where they keep me gagged and bound
I'm in Chechneya, a Russian is on my back
Under apartheid in South Africa, and I'm black
This is my story that no one wants to know
This is my life I've got nowhere else to go
This is the only home
The only home I've come to know
I am a Muslim and I am a Jew
I am a Buddhist and I am a Christian too
I am a prisoner in my own country
But I'm not a criminal, I'm just a refugee
This is the only home
The only home I've come to know
