Lyrics transcript

See the plains

Of the days of old

Just a century ago

When stories of peace were told.

Of how Gallilie (sic) ran through

The Jordan river.

What remains are cold

Tales of war,

Of the death and dying

Bomb shells are flying

Bodies multiplying,

See the children crying.

What are they fighting for?

I will pray for you,

Oh, Palestine.

Oh, Palestine,

I will carry you, oh,

Palestine, Palestine.

Palestine

Come deep in

My heart.

I’ll always love you.

Palestine, don’t cry,

I will pray for you,

Oh, Palestine.Oh, Palestine,

Oh, Palestine.

God’s a place for you

Oh, Palestine.

And, I believe in you.Oh,

Palestine, I will die for you.
