Slow boat blues for the lost and the innocent!
Come to Europe, live free!
Coming in from the open sea
people in an open boat . . .
. . . connected to Africa
escaped from their hunters
they have lost their rights
Twenty-four days has gone, out of water and no food!
Children are crying, there is a mother who is dying
in the arms of two young children!
Can't you see . . . the world is going wrong!
Can't you see . . . that evil is growing strong !
Do the right, stand up and fight for peoples right
. . . . . . . for peoples right!
. . . . . . . . stand up and fight!
Abused, accused, lost people of Africa
running against their will, through death and fire!
When does it going to end, proud people of Africa
shearing your tears and fears, memories that never
ever going to disappear . . .
Twenty-four days has gone, out of water and no food!
Children are crying, there is a mother who is dying
in the arms of two young children!
Can't you see . . . the world is going wrong!
Can't you see . . . that evil is growing strong !
Do the right, stand up and fight for peoples right
. . . . . . . for peoples right!
. . . . . . . . stand up and fight!
- Think about
. . .if it's going
. . .to be you
the next time!
