Lyrics

As you prepare your breakfast
Think of others
Do not forget to feed the pigeons
As you wage your wars
Think of others
Do not forget those who fight for peace
As you pay your water bill
Think of others
Those who are nursed by clouds
As you return home, to your home
Think of others
Do not forget the people of the camps
As you sleep and count the stars
Think of others
Those who have nowhere to sleep
As you liberate yourself with metaphors
Think of others
Those who have lost the right to speak
As you think of others far away
Think of yourself and say
If only I were a candle in the night
This is for Palestine, Al-Quds
The capital Jerusalem
Unarmed people marchin' to the wall and they're shootin' 'em
Suppression is a question
Resistance is the answer
Long live Palestine
Long live Gaza
Palestine, Al-Quds
The capital Jerusalem
(Oh my)
Unarmed people marchin' to the wall and they're shootin' 'em
(Oh my)
Suppression is a question, resistance is the answer
Long live Palestine
Long live Gaza
All you see is war
Everytime you turn your head at night
There's bloodshed on the floor
Mother cries, who dies for her this time?
There's truth between these walls
See the lies between the lines they hide
Where's the bullet comin' from?
From the tyrant dressed in our disguise
I'm a ridah 'til di end
Even if I gotta push back for all my friends
Cah you know dat I'm a fighter, let me see your lighter
And we nah guh stop 'til Palestine is free
But you still know dat I'm a ridah 'til di end
Even if I gotta push back for all my friends
Cah you know dat I'm a fighter, let me see your lighter
And we nah guh stop 'til Palestine is free
Taught to not love, taught to be blind
Taught to not care
Tell me what's real?
Borderlines, military despair
How to exist if there's no words to be human in fear
And if you take away our home
Where's the house supposed to live?
Taught to not love, taught to be blind
Taught to not care
Tell me what's real?
Borderlines, military despair
How to exist if there's no words to be human in fear
And if you take away our home
Where's the house supposed to live?
Free my people
Long live Palestine
We will never let you go
Sing it with me now
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
If Ibrahim Abu Thuraya could resist without a wheelchair
Ten year challenge, tell Regev we are still here
And tell that killer Netanyahu, he should feel fear
The old live through us and guarantee the children will care
Criminal
Not invincible and you know it
Samidoun, Samidoun
Still sittin' in there stoic
May not feel us with you when you listen to our poems
You inspire humanity, your resistance is heroic
Regardless of talk
It is time we answer the call
Through your strength of spirit, you provide example for all
How to live, how to love when attacked from the clouds above
Loud and clear, the songs you sung can't be drowned by the sound of guns
Or just watch your tragic times through a satellite dish
The least that we can give you is an anthem like this
They panicked, tried to analyse and sanitise this
But we love you more than ever
Still, Palestine lives
Free my people
Long live Palestine
We will never let you go
Sing it with me now
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine
No change, no
Run away your way, oh
All the hate you face, oh
Time to change this state, oh
No change, no change, no
Run away your way, oh
All the hate you face, oh
Time to change this state, oh
No change, no change, no
Continuing oppression of the Palestinians
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Encircling of the people of Gaza
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The killing of civilians, the burning of bones
The daily oppression, the theft of land
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The Apartheid system in the West Bank
Where there are two road systems
And I've been and I'm sure you have
And you see the, the Israeli road
You see like a, a spanking new highway
With just a set of cars going backwards and forwards
Then you see the old Palestinian roads
And it's clearly, it's people living under two sets of rules
(Free)
An Apartheid system
(Long live Palestine)
So all this is being uncovered
And the boycotts and divestment and sanctions
Campaign which I support and I'm sure many other people do
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
As a peaceful protest against the Isreali oppression
To poor groups who've got to keep proclaiming
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The rights of the Palestinians are the right to return
The right to, uhm
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The right to their homeland really
And uhm
And the theft of land is
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Israel is breaking international law
It is breaking the Geneva Conventions
