Boat Journey - Tony Allen

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey, my sisters!

Running away from misery

Running away from misery

Running away from misery

And you can find yourself in a double misery

You don’t decide to leave your misery behind

From the past it was shown in your country

You don’t decide to leave your misery behind

From the past it was shown in your country

Now you jump into the boat

Now you jump into the boat

To cross the ocean with all your family

Looking, looking for better situation across the ocean

But you never arrive

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey, my sisters!

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey, my sisters!

If you are lucky to arrive

If you are lucky to arrive

Just no doubts, not inside you it will find yourself

If you are lucky to arrive

Making you see not inside, you could find yourself

Even if they let you enter, for all

If they let you enter, for all

That means said

The situation here is not so cool

The situation here is not so cool

That’s why

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey, my sisters!

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey, my sisters!

Don’t take the boat journey, my brothers!

Don’t take the boat journey!
