Jenin - from Palestine The Albu
m
Its just a word, isn't it
It's just a name, what's in a name
There's a lot in a name
I'll give you one name that means so much to me
Jenin
Jenin
Jenin is just a place in Palestine
I tell you no
Jenin is a place that wants me want to be a better believer
Every day a better believer
<cue music>
Your remarkable landscapes are fading away
Now a barren wasteland is all we're seeing today
They cover your soil with the blood of numerous martyrs
Who give their life to the struggle, when times are hardest
Oh sweet Jenin tell me will you ever be free
No more occupied oppressed, like they want you to be
You deserve much more than cries from a child
Seeing his whole family murdered, bodies all piled
Then when the Zionist decided to kick up a fuss
He grabbed a bull-dozer and turned my house into rubble and dust.
Oh sweet Jenin tell me what will it take
To stop the genocide continuing inside of this place
To put an end to all the madness
Last week we were forced to strip naked
My mother refused
cos she said that her body was sacred
So they burned down my school
And I wonder who's responsible for making those rules
Why are they here
From who are they sent
They drove us out from our homes
Now we live in a refugee tent
Mummy cries herself to sleep and Daddy's scared
Does the world know what's happening
Does anyone care
It doesn't seem fair
My little brother's only 5
But already, in a wheel-chair
‘Cos he got shot while praying in a Mosque
Now his happiness is gone and hope almost lost
Look deep in my eyes
And tell me, what do you see
Do you see a Terrorist
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
I just want to be free
For how long more, will we be degraded by these vultures
Have our sisters dishonoured
while they treat us like filthy cockroaches
I swear I'll dry trying
‘Cos in the depths of my heart lies a soldier
Who'd rather die serving his maker
Than live by the laws of this Zionist culture
I've been stripped from my rights
Now enslaved in my own birth place
Just take a look at my people
Can't you tell by the pan on their face
Won't you see by the way that they live
When the children are crying
They're hungry, and there's nothing to give
And if we speak against oppression
They're quick to put holes in our joints
Force our women to give birth the street
Next to the daily checkpoints
So the next morning after Fajr
With the broken metal piece
I dug a hole as deep as I could
Kissed my mother's forehead
And hugged her a little longer
Cos I knew that I should
She asked me if I'd make her proud
And I told her I would
Then without looking back
I walked to the outskirts of our Refugee camp
There I stood like a lion
My heart never sank
Staring at the next tank
I said 'Look deep in my eyes
And tell me, what do you see
Do you see a Terrorist?
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
Or a child that wants to be free
And Israeli Generals, they will tell you, its the City of Cockroaches, we will tell you its the City of Angels
Our beloved prophet (saw), he said in Dua
'Oh Allah, let us live like princes, and die like Martyrs'
And we said Ameen.
For Jenin. Insha Allah
