She cannot go back to the town far away
To the place where she first looked on the light of day
Her family and friends they are still living there
Condemned to live in fear of an oppressive regime and not wanted elsewhere
She spent a year in a refugee camp living in poverty
And she arrived in this Country as a boat refugee
A young woman in her prime only twenty three
Those near and dear to her she may never more see
The reason she cannot return to her Homeland
Is that for justice and human rights she made a stand
Her life was in danger so her Homeland she did flee
One can only admire her for her bravery
She can never return to her Homeland again
In this Southern Country destined to remain.
