about

This song was written and recorded for the Mosaic International Student Film Festival, 2012. My sister Dana created a video for it, depicting the Palestinian culture, struggle, and resilience. Her video won Best Music Video and has also been published on the online Independent News website, Mondoweiss.

lyrics

if ever I feel heaven’s gust on the earth
across my sweat-moist brow
it will be as I lay eyes closed and dreaming
in the same garden that Situ lined with seeds
before they tore us down for canvas

the sprout of my father’s family
brother providence and sister sustenance
under the arms of immovable sycamore
the call of lanterns hung above
a hopeful eye

upon the foundations of forefathers
sons build homes for children
from their wells we breathe dawn
of their skies drink dusk
and fill our bellies with good fruit
the reward of century’s toil

stories are crowns
ornamented rings on our fingers
they who hold fast
are champion
take heart

courage
take heart

courage
take heart
courage
take heart
justice approaches swiftly
courage
take heart
courage
take heart
the wages of a champion comes
he approaches swiftly
