The Palestinians
a modern day hero without a choice
others’ days’ messenger without a voice
fighting for life with whatever they’ve got
not a whole lot, a rock and a slingshot
you’ve heard the myth david and goliath
they live the truth, while all others lieth
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
everyone promised, no one delivered
they suffered and died, waited but withered
they’re used and abused by opportunists
they struggle and die while called terrorists
they can break your heart, also inspire
live in a prison, circled by wire
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
all have kept taking, no one has given
these crimes all these years, not yet forgiven
where is your conscience, not yet awakened
they’re tortured and maimed, tot’ly forsaken
betrayed and outraged, taunted and abused
and tricked and deceived, and kicked and misused
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
all rights are given to their oppressors
none for them it seems, they’re not aggressors
lulled by the media, you listen to lies
even if shown truth, turn away your eyes
no one is spared there, not mothers or wives
even the children must pay with their lives
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
the world’s gift to them are bombs and bullets
while you support this, just with your wallets
or with your silence, you are accomplice
to have this take place, what a sick practice
with your ignorance, you let it happen
or your indifference, the knives are sharpened
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
outright brutal attacks were not enough
now concerted efforts are made to starve
oh, how long subject to savage attack
abused and made to live in total lack
ethnically cleansed again without remorse
how much longer before a change of course
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
a sick system they call democracy
a true description? a pathocracy
they imprisoned them, now it’s their own turn
a nightmare scenario, tinder to burn
society trapped, of their own making
all everyone can do, their own waking
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
money and weapons keep on pouring in
to their oppressors, an unsightly sin
they fight and struggle, one day they will win
how will you help them, today let’s begin
spread the word for them, give the lie the truth
one side’s deception, but they’ve got the proof
god’s given you eyes so that you can see
we shall stand together or it will be
the future that’s waiting for you and me
yes, their fate awaits us, for you and me
