What of Palestine
i see bright beautiful kites all over Palestine
riding on the wind
free and glorious
hundreds and hundreds by the tens of thousands
i see Gazans at the Dead sea swimming and playing at the beach
I see ugly grey walls tumbling down
i see a people after 60 years of diaspora; free
i see Hanthala's face and he is now a grown man and smiling most broadly
i hear a million keys open a million doors of a million homes
i hear the doors creak open from those who have returned
i hear the voices of 7 million cry out their freedom
i hear the children laughing and singing
i had a dream and it was deep in the holy land
when all were equal and shared fairly
i had a vision clear as the sky
one nation one people from water to water
but that day is not today
for this day the great city on the hill rails and hectors at the UN for the world to turn its back on crime by its little buddy
on this day another home is demolished,another family kicked out
on this day a Palestinian is shot for refusing to be robbed quietly
and here i am 5000 miles away
with all that i may have and more for the asking in this candy store country
but it ain't enough when i know so many suffer from the lack of so much
my wife says i should worry bout us here,nothing you can you do there
But what of Palestine, i can't sleep at night
What of Palestine, aren't we all Palestinian?
What of Palestine
What of Palestine
