Sailing away
away from home
away from the place I know
Now as the sun is setting
The sea is splashing and wetting
Our boat.
This is where we are staying
It's definitely not a place for children to be playing
For it rains bombs every day.
After 30 days of sailing
We reached Gallipoli, and if we died our families would be wailing.
Our mission, as our captain said,
was to run as far as we could,
before the guns shot us and our lives were took.
For this is what we signed up for.
To fight in the war.
