Al Wilson - Destination Paradise: For Schapelle Corby

Al Wilson's video performance of his own song, Destination Paradise, which outlines the terrible case of Schapelle Corby, an innocent suffering, whilst the world does nothing. His lively country and western style and strong lyrics create a forceful protest at the shameful inaction of both government and media.

Al tells the tale of an innocent caught up in a nightmare of barbaric injustice and cruelty. Of her government, dodging and diving from their responsibility, to avoid creating confrontation with Indonesia. Of the most unethical media in the world treating it as fodder for circulation.

The original video was created in Australia by Al himself, and then sent here to the UK on CD for production and edit by ourselves.

Finally, the purpose of the video: please help Schapelle Corby, still suffering in an Indonesian prison cell, a terrible victim of show court injustice. Our support site can be found here: www.schapelle.net

Please don't walk away...

LYRICS:

Verse 1
High up officials detectives of the force knew earlier on while a girl was going to court,
About a corrupt drug smuggling ring with in the airport, and on the same day as she flew overseas,
But these so called honourable men just let the evidence blow in the breeze.

Solo 1

Verse 2
Now this girl writes her book,telling about her injustice case,she is clinging to her innocense full of hope and faith,
But our government turns to deaf ears,saying "oh! it's just a proceed of crime,
Well I say what kind of injustice have we got going on hear,do they think we are blind ?
Do they think we can not see the dirt on there hands ?
Or do they think they have the rights to play with strings like puppeteers ?

Chorus 1
There is an aussie girl doing time in a land where are bombers believe they are martyrs of crimes,
Injustice takes away destination paradise.

Verse 3
If this girl was guilty she would deserve to fall,but her prosecution case appears full of flaws,
Nothing conclusively justifies closing iron doors.
While powerful men in well dressed suits stuffed around playing the goose,
Foreign hierarchy where considering given her the noose,
Tag 1 Injustice takes away destination paradise.

Chorus 2 As Chorus 1

Verse 4
TV news papers and the magazines played their higher volume sales games,
Why they ought not to be ashamed for wrongfully running down there nations own ?
Why they be so prejudice to the chance of a girl coming home ?
But then again for twisting the truth the media is well known
Tag 2 Injustice takes away destination paradise.

Chorus 3 As Chorus 1

Instrumental:

Bridge 1 If you're the kind that feels unsure, why not sit alone and let the dingo call, your memories of an injustice case from years before

Tag 3 Injustice takes away destination paradise.

Chorus 4 As Chorus 1

[badamysister]

I can't get over some of the lyrics in this song... As I was listening I was thinking of the famous words we all know "a dingo took my baby"!!! You all know what I mean.

BRING THIS GIRL HOME NOW

[eastcoastchampionshi]

all around the world and all across the sea Al Wilson asks for protest singers and artists to be out spoken about the injustice that has taken place, join in the protest push to set the innocent Schapelle Corby free, every voice counts.Come all together for the freeschapelle gig on utube.

[pole1cat]

Another musician spelling it out to the people. Yes, she is innocent. Governments know this, media know this, jugdes know this.

Soon everyone will remember what they were thinking in 2005 when 92% believed in her innocence. The only thing that has changed was the media turned against her with the full backing of your government.

But without facts all they have is smear and yep, most fell for it.

Al Wison has stood up to be counted. Great work Al....

[ten804]

Enough is enough. We must bring Schapelle home, now! Thanks for the song Al with such a powerful message!  We need more Schapelle supporters, like you, FS, IQ, et al., who will help stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Thanks for posting the video FreeSchapelle!

[LordGalvatron666]
