Refuge
I am a refugee
Can you see me
I am not Australian
Not of your nation
I'm fleeing, I'm running, I'm running scared
I'm tired of running
How far have I come
To find a new home?
My babies, my woman I've left behind
With promises of hope
That at last I would find
A people, a land, a new community
That would give immunity
From oppression
Where my children might grow
With the dignity
That is the right
of all humanity
