A small candle but a determined light.

In the middle of gloom and doom, we rise, carrying the banner of hope.

One day we will be free….

One day we will liberate our land….

One day we will have peace….

For that day to come, we will not sit and wait.

We will nurture our roots here in this land,
care for our children, and tend our wounds.

If they prevent us from crossing the border,
they cannot stop us from planting roses.

If some have lost their soul in quest of power and empire,
we will continue to live on the grounds,
breathe the clean air of Palestine and fly in its blue sky.

And when all is gone, we will be here….
