I'm not a foreigner...

I have a foreign look
I dress up not as you
I speak different
And some time in different accent
I ate your food
But it tastes different to my tongue
Yes, I'm foreign to your place

And you assumed me as a foreigner
I live here on someone's charity
And your hospitality
Don't misundertand me
I too have a home like you
But not like you
You are living as you wish
And doing as your dare
I was thrown out from my beloved land
And they said
I have to wish as they wish
And do as they decide
I will go back one day
With all my brothers and sisters
But excuse me,
I'm not a foreigner
I'm a refugee in your land
