Anyone want to give it a try?
Please cry for me Palestine
It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That we still want to live after all that you have done
You won’t believe me, all you will see is a girl taking bullets & bombs
Although she’s undressed by the wars
As sick and wounded by you
You had to let it happen, I can’t change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the guns
So I chose to live, running around trying to stay alive
But nothing available at all
I never expected it to
Cry for me, cry for Palestine
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Please keep your distance
And as for living, and as for pain
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I not desired
They are not illusions, they’re not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I hate you, and hope you are gone
Please cry for Palestine
Please cry for Palestine
The truth is, please leave us
All through my wild days, my existence
I kept my promise
Please keep your distance
Please cry for Palestine
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Please keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
