Free Palestine –  words & music by Doc Jazz

 

We can’t go on living life under oppression
We can’t go on allowing violent dispossession
And we can’t go on accepting murderous invasion
‘Cause we are done trying softness and persuasion

Choose now
But our choice must be this
We resist therefore we exist

Free Palestine, is the life I live
it’s the song I sing, it’s the love I give
Free Palestine, is the choice I make
it’s that wretched devil’s law I break

We can’t go on accepting racist institutions
We can’t go on, looking for compromise solutions
And we can’t go on, delaying vital revolutions
Cause we are done believing UN resolutions

Choose now
But our choice must be this
We resist therefore we exist

Free Palestine, is what it will be
In the vision of freedom that I see
Free Palestine, is my way of life
So that truth and justice will survive

We can’t go on accepting violence and destruction
This can’t go on, illegal settlement construction
And we can’t go on, with those useless condemnations
And that’s why this song, is a freedom declaration

Choose now
But our choice must be this
We resist therefore we exist

Free Palestine, is what it will be
In the vision of freedom that I see
Free Palestine, is my way of life
So that truth and justice will survive

RAP:
Free Palestine
Free all that’s mine
Keep your hands off off our holy shrine
Free the P right now
It should be right now
Its way overdue
And I’m calling you

Stop injustice now
Got to trust somehow
That we will all be free
In prosperity

Free my country now
Hear your conscience now
I am calling you
To get active too
