You ask me,
Why it is I come to you,
When someone else is just as good.
I asked them but they said the same,
Didn't even ask my name.
Explain to me,
Just what it is you have to lose.
Take a minute in my shoes,
Don't it feel like you've paid your dues
Already.
I'll show you,
That all our fates are so entwined.
Don't lose your faith in humankind.
Just don't forget my state of mind
Is fragile.
Together,
We can enjoy the taste of dignity.
As long as you believe in me,
I'll show you my reality,
I've seen a few.
You ask me,
Why it is I come to you,
When someone else is just as good.
I asked them but they said the same,
Didn't even ask my name.
Another refugee.

Oi Va Voi

Oi Va Voi are a British band formed in London, England in the year 2000. The band emerged from the UK world music crossover scene to become multi-award-winning masters of musical wanderlust with a pan-European fanbase to which they have toured to sold-out venues and headlined festivals ever since. Musically, the band spearheaded a movement of Jewish musicians to bring cultural styles into contemporary songwriting. The band blended their heritage with an emphasis on modern pop sensibilities reflecting their own individual interests in indie rock and alt-folk and the urban dance music of the clubs of London. The band takes its name from a Yiddish-derived exclamation popular in modern Hebrew meaning, approximately, "Oh, my gosh!".
