about

No borders. One World. Refugees welcome. The beauty of our world is the diversity of its inhabitants. Every race, culture and religion create a land of splendour. Multiculturalism gives us the music we listen to, the food we eat, our favourite footballers and our lovers, friends, and families.
Every day we are taught to hate people who are different. Fear is the prison which holds us, and racism is the poison that divides us.

Climate change, poverty and war have exacerbated a global refugee crisis. If we continue to live in a political system which chooses money over people, this problem will get worse.

My new single ‘No Borders’ is in solidarity with communities, artists, activists and human rights organisations who support a world without borders. A world without racism. A place where love is shared through every community, across every nation and between us all.

One world
Peace
Sean

lyrics

No Borders

No borders, one world
Refugees welcome
We are all immigrants
Multiculturalism are flowers that grow
In the gardens of diversity
Seeds blossom then sparkle as fire flies
Cascades of colour and light
A united nations of cultures
Through the prism of race and religion
Shines the beacon of love
The builders, the makers , the creators
From every corner of the globe

Beauty in diversity
Beauty in who we are

Language fragments and moves with the earth
It mixes, turns and changes
Cultures intertwined as rivers, streams and oceans
Move with the seasons
Follow the rhythms as poems and songs
Do not fear difference, celebrate and embrace
Take your favourite food , the music you listen to,
Your favourite footballer
Inside the hospitals and upon the roads
The protectors and the heroes
Diversity enriches us
Inside the history of migration
Every realm of earth’s creation
We dance to the same beat of love
Fear is the prison that holds us
Racism is the poison that divides us
As coastlines and peninsulas change over time
Nations of people move from place to place

Beauty in diversity
Beauty in who we are

A constellation of stars scratches the sky
Below migrants on midnight waves
Ice cold water leaks into the boat
A graveyard below the ocean
A conveyer belt of death
Distant landscapes decimated by war, famine, climate and poverty
Remember that could be you or me
Jesus, Mary and Joseph were refugees
No one chooses to be displaced
We are all the same
We fall in love
Our hearts can be broken
We grieve for those we love
We are the same flesh and blood
We are scared and lonely
We are alive and then dead
Beauty in diversity
Beauty in who we are
