"Ibrahim"
-Eric

(Album: The of Dreams)

Hey Ibrahim, me what do you think of Australia?
Do our desert sunsets fill you with wonder?
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 better

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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