lyrics

I can only share their stories
Life before the life they had
And the seaside memories
Dreams have gone bad
And died in a killing spree

I can only see what they show
Peer into the black eyes
The green eyes
The red eyes of the ashen girl
Eyes of the world
Dodging their gaze

I can only sing to you
I can try to scream if you want me to

Sing
No one else is free
Until they are free
Until they are free
From
The river to the sea
The river to the sea
Falasteen is free

I can only show you violence
75 years of misery silenced
The truth is in the key
And the key’s in the olive trees

The others, they say
The others, they say
“They don’t believe in God but he gave them this land anyway”
Preaching His words
On the face of a bomb

Everything they say is true
Except for the deceit and the lies
I know you can see it too

So sing
No one else is free
Until they are free
Until they are free
Sing
None of us are free
Until they are free
Until they are free
From
The river to the sea
The river to the sea
Falasteen is free

I can only hear the Gospel
An entire city shredded to pixels
This is not resilience
Watermelon seeds and a birth right
Sow the dead and you’ll reap a resistance

Sing
No one else is free
Until they are free
Until they are free
From
The river to the sea
The river to the sea
Falasteen is free

From
The river to the sea
The river to the sea
Falasteen is free
