about

Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are neither engaging in illegal activity nor are they immigrants. Regardless of how they arrive, they have every right to enter a country for the purposes of seeking asylum. This song is for them.

lyrics

don't shut me out
this little ship ain't sunk
iv'e come from a long way to be here

don't shut me out
i just wanna share your sky of blue
lay the past in the wake and start anew

don't shut me out
i just want off this leaky ark
before my will and my bones are broke

don't shut me out
into the deep and dark
we've sailed beyond the bounds of admitted ambitions

don't shut me out
with your conflict of sympathies
to this end i want for no excuse to be here
