about

A song about the poor way Australia treats our refugees seeking asylum..

lyrics

In tiny boats
Sailing south
Through Torres Strait
Towards this land
Crashing waves
The only sound
Tell me I won't
Be the next to drown

On Manus island
In relentless heat
Have e taken hope
From the refugees
In leaky boats
Just one last chance
Maybe find a home
On Australian land

Stop the boats is all we hear
Voices falling on deaf ears

My country won't believe
These people are down on their knees
My country don't understand
The way of a desperate man

Yeah I`m fleeing persecution
Its my right …as a human

Stop the boats is all we hear
Voices falling on deaf ears

> Chorus….My country ….

And keep them ….locked up and away from here…
And keep them ….far far away from here…
And keep them ….locked up and away from here…

Great Southern Land
Stretch out your hand..
Your fellow man…
Can barely stand..

Stop the boats is all we hear….

My country won't believe
These people are down on their knees
My country don't understand
The way of a desperate man
My country won`t believe..
The plight of the refugees
My country don't understand
The way of a desperate man
