[Intro: Mai Khalil (Translated)]
Alone, the child stood amidst nights, bullets, and soldiers
The child stood admist piles of stones
Eyes determined and resilient
Eyes determined and resilient
[Pre-Chorus 1: Mai Khalil]
Falastine, Falastine [1]
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
From the river to the sea [2]
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sеa
Free, free, free, free
[Verse 1: Lowkey]
How can I start?
Can't get the image out of my hеart
When we've seen the bodies found in a mountain of parts
Netenyahu told you just another child of the dark
Clear it's gonna take much more than thousands to march
More than a speech
More than a poem, more than a track of music
Gonna take more than a sit-down with Bassem Youssef [2]
Even bringing back ambassadors is an act that's useless
As long as you pump oil for Apaches [3]
And the tanks they're using
Freedom just beyond reach for people you cannot see
He's wheezing and cannot breathe
And screaming through the concrete
Looking for his four children
The bombs leave structures that I wouldn't wanna call buildings
My fingers pointed at this government, you all killed them
Tell me that you wouldn't take up arms
If those were your children
Let me make the factor clear
Those bombs were manufactured here
And they want the lands that's theirs
Because of natural gas in there
It's all death in the atmosphere
While we hapless, stand and stare
And a little boy begs for his brothers strand of hair
Truth is, I don't know how anyone can live
After digging for their dead kids buried under bricks
Israel is a terror state, terrorists that terrorise
I testify my television televised 'em telling lies
This is not a war, it is systematic genocide
But whatever they try, Palestine will never die
[Pre-Chorus 2: Mai Khalil & Lowkey]
Falastine
(They're not prepared to face the pain so they're
Scared to say your name)
Falastine
(They're not prepared to face the pain so they're
Scared to say your name)
Falastine
(They're not prepared to face the pain so they're
Scared to say your name)
Falastine
(They're not prepared to face the pain so they're
Scared to say your name)
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
[Verse 2: Lowkey]
They bomb churches and paramedics
It's hurting, the panics spreadin'
Hospitals where the doctors do C-sections, no anaesthetics
The pressure is manifestin', humanity stands connected
Masses seem apathetic and actually just accept it
When our grandchildren ask us "what did we do to stop it?"
I'm determined to say I did more than make music on it
That's why we shut down arms factories
You can try stoppin' us
Palestine Action's [4] the opposite of white phospherous
We tell 'em on the television but they never listen
Tell Piers Morgan [5] that resistance isn't terrorism
They want them fled or missin', dead or prison, endless killin'
I seen a father hold his baby up, the head was missin'
Imagine demolition of home where your parents livin'
Kings won't say a thing
But at least we know that Yemen's with 'em
Ethnic cleansing, it ain't hard to see the stages but
Gaza, graveyard of the invaders
Ears close to the savagery, clear though and there's clarity
The journalists and doctors are heroes of humanity
As sordid and as gory as this story is for now
Are they depopulating Gaza for Ben Gurion's [6] canal?
Israel is a terror state, terrorists that terrorise
I testify my television televised 'em telling lies
This is not a war, it is systematic genocide
But whatever they try, Palestine will never die
[Bridge: Mai Khalil (Translated)]
I call out to you, and I clask onto your hands
I kiss the earth beneath your soles and say
I call out to you, and I clask onto your hands
I kiss the earth beneath your soles and say
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
Alone, the child stood amidst nights, bullets, and soldiers
The child stood admist piles of stones
Eyes determined and resilient
Eyes determined and resilient
[Pre-Chorus 1: Mai Khalil]
Falastine, Falastine [1]
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
From the river to the sea [2]
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
From the river to the sеa
Free, free, free, free
