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
