Below, the lyrics of that song:

Take the siege away…

By Hatem & Naseem

A girl named Sarah,

Innocence's in her eye,

'cause of no medication,

She's about to die

In Gaza, there's siege

Why can't you hear!

Children, women, old men

No one can bear

Don't let her feel the pain

Don't let her suffer again

Just let her fly, like a bird in the sky, and take the siege away

Ali ambitious student

Drawing a rainbow on the sand

He wants to reach his college

But besieged in his land

He wants to learn abroad

To come back and build a road

The road toward freedom,

just and safe abode

Don't take his dreams away

Don't let him miss the way

Just let him fly, like a bird in the sky, and take the siege away

Away from the siege, away from despair

Away from violence, and agony everywhere

Don't let us stay deprived, we just wanna survive

Gaza's under siege and no one can bear…

No medicine for Sarah, no passing through borders…

Families are separated, can't meet each others..

Patients die everyday, suffering everyday, take the siege away

Now, statistics about the situation in Gaza :
