Under skies of exploding fire and sound
We pray as grieving stars look down
Weep until rivers of blood run clean
Resist until no more we shall breathe
Lay sleeping angels to eternal peace

We follow His light through deep despair
Hold each other until we are not there
And when we all lay beneath this land
The world may finally understand
That freedom was never theirs to give
Palestine was never theirs to take
Our souls were never occupied
Our peace awaits…
