A cry for Palestine
lyrics
Palestine
Anthony Hendriks
Forgive me, I interrupt, please put down your phone and your cup.
An ancient story to tell, wish I could say it turned out well.
A father had two sons, one by promise, and one had to run.
The blood they shared would never mix, they built a wall with ancient bricks
Half Chorus: Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine
Time flew like the desert sand, the guns of war tore across the land
When it was over, a map was drawn up, the older son drank a bitter cup
Today we find that nothing’s changed, two brothers still living estranged
The older holds up fists that struck, the younger holds weapons gone amuck
Half Chorus: Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine
And so the innocents die, fire and smoke fill the sky
The rockets fall, buildings crash, children hide within the ash
Across the sea, empires strain, they drool while dreaming of their gain
Weapons of war must always flow, the price of oil wells row on row
Half Chorus: Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine
And so we witness genocide, and take the deaths within our stride
We’re busy living life we say, and trust our leaders in every way
The Spirit cries for us to love, while Zionists kill the dove
There are no winners in this war, blood and tears spill from shore to shore
Chorus: Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine
