SONG FOR A PALESTINIAN CHILD

SONG FOR A PALESTINIAN CHILD
************ ********* ********* ********* ****
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child.
People think, I am meek and mild.
I was born in the midst of fire,
Coffin on the body is my attire;
I can face everything, dark and dire,
The time fails to sink me in its mire.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child.
People think, I am meek and mild.
Always ready for bullets is my chest,
The bombs can never dampen my zest;
My blood is meant for my country’s best,
Only in the grave, I shall take my rest.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
People think, I am meek and mild.
I aspire for peace , have love for all,
I want to demolish the religion’s wall;
When the world is weeping on my fall,
I must also try to rise high and tall .
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
People think, I am meek and mild.
Playing with death, is my ordinary game,
For me , earth and sky are all the same;
I am a violent storm, no power can tame,
My enemy will suffer a lasting shame.
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child .
People think, I am meek and mild.
Desire for freedom makes me wild,
I am a Palestinian child. I am a Palestinian child
