Song of Jenin
Not enough tears on earth
to wash away the blood
Not enough blood on earth
To wash away the pain
Not enough faith on earth
to take away my shame
Pain in my heart
too hard to bear
Shame in my heart
For when I looked..
My brother was not there
I held up my head in pride
When the soldiers came
They never broke the man inside
Never flinched in pain,
never gave up my pride
I fought In Allah's name
For brotherhood I would have died
Couldn't you hear the cries
Couldn't you feel the pain
Didn't you realize
The butcher was back again
Fought a tank with a stone
But never thought I'd fight alone
Pain in my heart
To hard to bear
Shame in my heart
for when I looked..
my brother was not there
Did you hear me call your name
I tried to hold my ground
But my brother never came
No enemy cuts so deep
As when brother watches brother
Be slaughtered like a sheep
What no gun could ever do
You have done to me
I have lost much faith in you
And my heart will never be
Whole or happy or healed
Until Palestine is free
Until Islam sees unity
