even if they end up having to chain all our hands
what has taken us centuries to achieve, they destroy in mere days
they separate us with rules that cause our lives to fade to gray
if only they had ears so they could hear our cries
instead they ignore us, watching celebrations supported by lies
no one knows when this torment will end

borders separate me from past family and friends
only the Israelis can finish this endless cycle of deceit
they're also the ones who want my country to face defeat
I always wonder if this will last forever
it's not the kind of thing you can shrug off while saying "whatever"
I understand why Hamas does what they do
they know that if they let Palestine down, we will be much more than blue
life here is full of troubles
you'll never just see the simple sight of a child outside playing with bubbles
we tremble, we shake, often not knowing how to react to the world around us
I sometimes cry but I feel I must
no one can imagine one's lifestyle here
it is all rooted in a lot of fear
