When a song blows you away so much that you feel it's your duty to ensure that everyone you know hears it's message.

FREE RANJINI
Ranjini weeps three children at her side
When her feelings get too much to hide
Authorities claim she’s a security threat
But time will prove them liars yet
In the detention centre at Villawood
They try to imagine a life that’s good
This could all be over, you must understand
With a signature from the minister’s hand
Ranjini, we’ve heard your plea
You’re not a threat to this country
It’s time to set you and your children free
Free Ranjini Free Ranjini
Paari was born behind the razor wire
Should be enough to raise this nation’s ire
But Brandis is his cruelty would claim
“They only have themselves to blame”
ASIO says that you could do us harm B
ut the only thing that raises my alarm
Is in hurting you so needlessly
How can we let a child suffer with PTSD?
Ranjini, we’ve heard your plea
You’re not a threat to this country
It’s time to set you and your children free
Free Ranjini Free Ranjini
How they’ve held you without trial so long
Is a sign they can’t tell right from wrong
The rule of law has been denied
But there are many standing by your side
Is it all we can offer to a family in need?
What does it say about us that they’re still not freed?
“A life full of grief” just will not do
So we send a song of freedom to you
