We came across from Korea We braved the wind and the rain We came a thousand miles just to be here And you want to send we back again
We crossed Malaysian waters We sailed the South China Sea We stopped at Singapore and Jakarta And you want to send we back to sea
Don't send we back, have mercy upon us We know you don't want us but we've got no one Don't send we back, we've run out of water We won't last the morning in the baking sun
The Indonesian Islands We stopped at every one As for the Philippines we tried `em And you want to turn our boat around
