ما إلي حرية

| I DON'T HAVE FREEDOM We've been like this more than 50 years Living as prisoners behind the bars of paragraphs Of agreements that change nothing We haven’t seen any light, and if we peek between the bars We see a blue sky and white clouds In the center a star reminds me that I’m limited But no, I’m strong, staying optimistic You won’t limit my hope by a wall of separation And if this barrier comes between me and my land I’ll still be connected to Palestine Like an embryo to the umbilical cord My feet are the roots of the olive tree Keep on prospering, fathering and renewing branches Every branch Grown for peace Every branch Under the pressure of occupation Refusing to give up So why don’t I have freedom? Because I refuse to live in slavery Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? We searched for peace between Generals Until we all became war children Asking for freedom from prisons that want us With closed and blind eyes Our eyes staring at the free children Always keep on rolling to a better life Our leaders only flavor their speeches Opening their mouths but shutting out hope We use power because of our weakness So life will treat us gently We saw that we don’t rule our own destiny So we tried to grasp it in our hands and it died All we asked for was a breath And what did we sacrifice for it? Also a breath So you tell me Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? I don’t want to live on my knees I’d rather not die at all I still see the Occupation Reaching his hand Not for peace, not for equality Not to mend things between us But to suffocate me Here's another massacre And a wall that’s separating me myself and I The U.S. has made it their 51st state Cleaning the Middle East of its Indians Hitting us then blaming us But all the biggest armies in the world Are weak against the hope of the children Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity Why can’t I be free like other children in this world? Little girl reading a poem: We want an angry generation To plough the sky, to blow up history To blow up our thoughts We want a new generation That does not forgive mistakes That does not bend We want a generation of giants. | I HAVE NO FREEDOM Chorus: Everywhere I go I see borders, imprisoning humanity How come all the children in the world are free, but I have no freedom? Tamer: We've been living for more than fifty years behind the bars of the laws that are imprisoning me in a reality that never changes We don't get to feel any light except a fence from it We see a blue sky with white clouds In the middle of a star that reminds me I'm tied up (ie Israeli flag) But no I'm resilient, living optimistically You won't keep me from hoping with a dividing wall And even if this barrier surrounds me I am tied to Palestine like a fetus to an umbilical chord My legs are the roots of the olive tree in the earth that keeps producing and regrowing branches Every branch outstretched in peace Every branch subject to occupation, refusing to give up So why don’t I have freedom? Because I refuse to live in slavery Mahmoud: We searched for peace among the leaders of war Generals of war, with them we've all become children of war Asking for freedom from the prisons that mean to keep us blinded Our eyes staring at the free children While we keep rolling to the bitter life And our leaders are only good at sweet-talking Meanwhile they're crippling our country We use power because of our weakness We put up with death so that life will treat us kindly and not with oppression We were born into this life And when we found that we were not in control of it, we tried to take it by force So we died, when all we ever asked for was a breath And what we've sacrificed is our souls So you tell me How come I have no freedom when all the children in the world are free Suheil: I don’t want to live on my knees And I don't want to die on my feet I still see the Occupation reaching out its hand Not for peace Not for equality Rather to strangle me Another massacre And a wall that’s separating me from myself that doesn't let me see the light of day While the mother of the 51st state (ie America) raises another state They who have been raised at the expense of another (ie Israel) are just like their mother We're like the American Indians Instead of protecting us they brainwash us They tell us that we're the problem But all the armies in the world can't stop freedom! Little Girl Reading Poem: We want an angry generation To plow the horizon To tear up history by its roots To rip out thought from its depths We want a new generation That does not forgive for past mistakes Nor bow down nor know any hypocrisy We want a bold generation of giants |
