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
