FOREVER PALESTINE

By Sami Yusuf

Mother don’t cry for me

I am doing what I must

God almighty is my witness that I trust

Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky

They say to their parents “don’t worry, God is on our side”

Palestine, Forever Palestine

Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night

Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right

Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them

Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy

Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny

Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives

They say to their parents, “we know that Palestine is our right”

They say to their parents, “we’ll fight for what is right”

They say, “not to worry! God is on our side”

They say, “we’ll die for Palestine”

Palestine, Forever Palestine
