Lyrics

Like a scene out of the hunger games

Like cattle in a pen

All scramblin to reach the feed

A herd of famished men

All demonized demoralized

Dehumanized deprived

Devoted and determined

To make it out alive

Each man with his own story

Each story a whole life

Of tragedy, humanity

Of struggle, and of strife

Of generations occupied

Fighting to be free

Of love for every dove and branch

Of every olive tree

Of border walls and documents

And settlements and guns

And military check points

And hateful foreign tongues

Of colonizing thievery

Of never ending war

Indigenous resistance

From the river to the shore

Of being stripped of human rights

Of being stripped of food

Of being stripped of childhood

To be left destitute

Of being deemed a terrorist

Before you're even born

Of leaflets scattered on the ground

Of which your death they warn

Of the wounded children left

With no surviving family

Of a growing population

Of minor amputees

Of the quiet desperation

Of hungers sunken eyes

Of the babies who lack enough nourishment

They cannot cry

Of donkey carts

Of body parts

And buzzing of the drones

Of defiance of surveillance

Of using your cell phones

To try to reach the world at large

To beg to make them stop

Of knowing well your enemy

Whose friends are at the top

Of hope and joy resilience

Of laughter tears and pain

Of fear and doubt and bravery

Of every martyr slain

Of entering the battle

With just a sling and stone

Like David and Goliath

Your story will be known

Like a passage in a holy book

That the powerful forgot

The moths will eat their garments

Their riches all will rot

Liberation for all kind

Will be restored again

You'll return to the garden

Called Palestine my friend
