They sailed for survival, for peace and justice,
They sailed for each other, they put their faith in us,
But you hold them in your gulags, your island cells of shame,
To teach them all a lesson, you hold them in our name.
They sailed across the ocean
A nightmare world afloat
They?re reaching out for freedom
In their Flotillas of Hope
You say you protect our borders, while you propagate your lies
They?re left in hell to wonder, if their hands will be untied.
Will they see the dream they cherished, a future for their sons and daughters
Or will you send them back to perish, an outcast?s death, an untold torture.
They sailed across the ocean
With dignity afloat
They?re reaching out for freedom
In their Flotillas of Hope
So we sail for their survival, for peace and justice
We sail for their freedom, and every one of us.
Release them from your gulags; restore integrity,
We?ll sail to them determined, ?til you release our refugees.
We sail across the ocean
With dignity afloat
We?re reaching out for freedom
In our Flotillas of Hope
