D
I was born a refugee
And I don't know if I'll ever see
A
The old farmhouse I've heard about
D
But it's where I belong, there is no doubt
G
'Cause my whole family is from that farm
D
And we never did nobody harm
A
And if you're confused by what you've heard
G
Let me boil it down to a single word
D A
I wanna go home...
G
I wanna go home
D
And I have heard my grandpa say
That on the street most every day
A
The neighbors' kids would kick a ball
D
With my dad when he was small
G
We were Christians, they were Jews
D
But it was no big deal, religious views
A
So it was strange when at the point of a gun
G
Across the river we had to run
D A
I wanna go home...
G
I wanna go home
D
We had dabkeh, we had songs
And we all knew where we belonged
A
We grew crops, life was good
D
There in the land where Jesus stood
G
Now we're scattered everywhere
D
But there's no peace anywhere
A
I'm just searching for some kind of sign
G
For some way back to Palestine
D A
I wanna go home...
G D
I wanna go home
