Find your own way home
For the government will help you none
Find your own way home
Come across waves as refugees
Find your own way home
Though war and strife tear at your life
Braving the savage seas
A welcoming shore not guaranteed
You bundled with fear and famine
Crying for help from those less needy
So the shore lies resplendent
An infinite horizon of goodness
Only to find another camp
With more modern amenities
Though still the same high fences
As if running from one tyranny
To another were a good deal
You are our conscience and our creed
Find your own way home
Find your own way home children
And in your finding
Find us and be freed
