Sing for Palestine

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!

Shout loud for Palestine
We’ll tear down the wall with rhythm and rhyme
Let the birds of freedom fly
Follow the sound of the children’s cries

Together we’ll take on governments’ might
Because we have a plan and we know it’s right
Settlements built on stolen land
An appalling crime I understand

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!

Take down the checkpoints and razorwire
Dance in the streets – put out the fires
Free the children held in jail
Let the ship of freedom sail

Military occupation
No place in any nation
Say no to segregation
Let this be our declaration!

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!

In the spirit of Martin Luther King
Let the voice of virtue ring
Equality, diversity
In the name of liberty!

We believe today and forever
That jews and arabs should play together
Friends, neighbours, team-mates, lovers
Politicians, sisters and brothers

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!

The British government drags its feet
It turns its back to the pain in the heat
Join the boycott, shout out loud
Call for sanctions – do it now!

Hold out the hand of co-operation
A beautiful beaming new sensation
The River Jordan is deep and wide
With milk and honey on the other side

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!

Say no to oppression – yes to peace
Let’s all the victimisation cease
Let the children’s voice be heard
Listen to their every word

Democracy, a vote for all
Feel the strength, stand up – stand tall
Join our glorious growing team
We have a mighty golden dream

Sing, sing for Palestine!
For the shining light of peace to shine
Let the bells of justice chime
Sing, sing for Palestine!
