Why?

WHY?

Mother, oh mother
Please tell me this,
Why can’t we live in peace?
Why can’t we live in bliss?

Why have they destroyed our house?
Why have they killed my dad?
Why are they killing innocent children?
Why are they taking our land?
Who’s ready to fight?
Who’s ready to die?
Who’s ready to free Palestine?
Who’s willing to try?
Tell me who?
Tell me why?

When will the violence stop?
When will they stand by our side?
When will they give us our rights back?
When won’t they run and hide?
How much time should we wait?
How many children should die?
How many tears should we wipe?
From a sad mother’s eye.
Tell me how?
Tell me when?
