Palestine Endures
The people scattered everywhere.
Here and there, and there and here.
No place they are free.
Thieves cut & kill our olive tree.
Jordan, Bierut, Cairo, Baghdad, Tripoli.
Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, we wander aimlessly.
Our homes are still there.
But we are not free.
The green line of our mind.
Divides and conquers endlessly.
Quds, Haiffa, Hebron, Nazareth, and Jenin.
Negev, Nablus and certainly Tel Aviv.
But Romans were defeated
Crusaders went away.
Byzantium, Persians, Ottomans
Could never stay.
British mandate was a ruse
Israeli nightmare of today.
God love Palestine
He is always near
God love Palestine
We will have no fear.
Standing with the people
From Quds to Jenin
Gaza to Ramallah
And all in between.
Freedom is on our side
Justice will prevail
We will never hide
Love will never fail.
God love Palestine
He is always near
God love Palestine
We will have no fear.
Through all our tears.
We are still here.
