Текст пісні
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
