- Lyrics:
Who combed your hair?
Tied it into pigtails
Essence of the soul
Giggles and games
earring found in ruins
Reem, nevermore
Who was the last to hear your soul screaming
When did your voice give up
Mother, oh mother,
Who could ask you to endure this?
Their hands are drenched in Children’s blood
The mothers pray
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Fast asleep
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
How many Reems
Are buried under rubble
Essence of the soul
How many more?
‘Til a deaf world starts hearing
Our hands are drenched in Children’s blood
The mothers pray
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Fast asleep
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
You look away
Give yourself a mental break
Do you feel sorry for yourself?
It seems you’ve lost your spine
Somewhere far down the line
Between justifications, and swallowing lies
The mothers pray
God, If peace won’t come
Kill us quickly
Let us die with our arms
Wrapped around our sons
Let our daughters
Die in peace
May our stories live on
May our keys bring us home
Let the olive trees grow, become part of our bodies
If I must die
You must live
I just love this! You made me cry. What lyrics you have created. ❤
Greatly sang!
i like that you have your own unique voice. It is beautiful :)
keep it up. it takes time..but you will get there.
Very beautiful. I wish you well in the contest.
I want to add that the first video I saw of you was sitting on the floor , perhaps in your high school, playing The Times They Are A Changing. I thought your voice sounded strong and I like the reverb.
