Lyrics

Home, a place where I belong, where the olive trees are grown, and the roots are pure and strong. I am wishing for that dawn, where I walk and see the dawn. See, I've waited, but I'm broken, I wanna go home.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Take me to yesterday, where I closed my eyes again, and I saw the same old picture that is freezing in that frame. I am so close, but yet so far. I'm a stranger, so take me back home. Take me back to that time, where things felt just all right. Boring was the highlight, now we're stuck in twilight. Never meant to be this way, human using pain to gain, but defiance is our way. Freedom will be back one day, yeah.
I'm an optimist, one day I know I'll feel it. The day that we go home and no fear about it. Right now, Ben-Gurion got that trigger on me, treating us like we're low-life criminals. But the only criminals are the instigators, when they came to our land and took it all away. This hospitality was never meant to be repaid. The Zionism is an evil-minded state.
Home, a place where I belong, where the olive trees are grown, and the roots are pure and strong. I am wishing for that dawn, where I walk and see the dawn. See, I've waited, but I'm broken.
Yeah, how could they make an excuse to murder a child? How could they kill a whole group and face no trial? How can you sit on the fence saying two sides of the story? This sort of thought of a dying baby caught in pleas don't ignore me. Close the blinds on our eyes, fill our lives with distractions. They occupy the public when they continue occupation. When start comes to light, it's a clear assassination. That's 1.7 million women and children. Move south and you'll be safe, displace, and then we bomb there. They could do it in front of the world, don't think the world cares. Cries from little boys and girls, don't think the world hears. Shares on your story today, tomorrow the post clears. Focus on the matter now, it's all lies on Rafa. Tomorrow's another day, going back to laughter. From them it's still the same, still trapped in the Gaza. Watch life in the Gaza turn to death in the Gaza. Nikki Haley signs a bomb saying kill them all. But those babies don't die, they rise to a last call. 60 all at one time, fire falling from the sky. Burning children alive can never be justified. And as they became numbers, we didn't pray but we protest. And the system made us lose focus, they was dying in hundreds. And everybody starts to care less. We failed them and we failed the test.
A place where I belong, where the olive trees are grown, and the roots are pure and strong. I am wishing for that dawn, where I walk and see the dawn. See, I've waited, but I'm broken. I want to go home.
Home is where the heart is, can't forget about it. Hope since we departed, we always dream about it. Even though they bomb our homes and culture, we spread it like sea. And to Allah we hope and pray that resistance succeeds. Where are the champions of freedom and truth? While the hospitals crumbling and the schools robbed of youth. Still the world will bear witness until I return. See, I've waited, but I'm broken and I want to go home.
A place where I belong, where the olive trees are grown, and the roots are pure and strong. I am wishing for that dawn, where I walk and see the dawn. See, I've waited, but I'm broken. I want to go home.
I want to go home.
