"Ibrahim"
-Eric

(Album: The of Dreams)

Hey Ibrahim, tell me do you think of Australia?
Do our beautiful desert sunsets fill you wonder?
As the sky catches fire, and the trees and the mountains change
But I the view from this side of the barbed-wire's much better

So Ibrahim, can you tell me, why did you come
What dream you chasing and what did you hope to find here?
Did you flee from your own native land your life was in danger?
Or were the reasons much more mundane, just and hunger?

Wrong path, wrong choice, creed, wrong culture
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong dream and wrong

You see Ibrahim, there's something I've been to tell you
Being hungry and poor no special status upon you
We won't send you back, if you can prove they'd imprison or you
But if just going back home to starve, I'm afraid we can't help you

You see Ibrahim, you've a bit of a problem
world's full of refugees fleeing poverty, war and oppression
So to take in like you, well it's out of the question
It give the world's hungry and poor the wrong impression

Wrong path, wrong choice, wrong creed, wrong
Wrong place, time, wrong dream and wrong colour

I'm Ibrahim, it's time to be totally candid
You had Buckley's chance* from the moment you landed
Already to many a threat and a danger you branded
And all because you follow the prophet

You didn't Ibrahim, on political opportunism
Our leaders knew that to many Australians, the word "Muslim"
Al-Quaeda, Hammas, the Taliban, and terrorism
And that's why you and family are locked up in prison.

path, wrong choice, wrong creed, wrong culture
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong dream and colour

So Ibrahim, tell me do you think of Australia?
Do our beautiful desert sunsets fill you with
As the sky catches fire, and the trees and the mountains change
But I guess the view from this side of the barbed-wire's much
Yes I guess the view this side of the barbed-wire's much better

"Buckley's Chance" - Australian meaning "no chance whatsoever".
The phrase came into use in the 1890's, it's origins are now uncertain.
