Doc Jazz - Home (for Jenin) lyrics

Desolately looking at what once was home And wondering why it had to go The little girl swallows her tears Yesterday the soldiers came Took everything she had away Nothing left to live off but her fears This crazy world is letting The culprits get away Refugees in their own land Deported by a savage hand And thrown into famine and despair But around her neck the front door keys Will keep alive the memories Returning home is now her only care And now she still remembers How daddy used to say Home is always in your heart They can't take that away Be strong, even when life gets rough And nothing seems to go your way Someday, justice will overcome Their lies will fall apart But till then let home live in your heart Nightmares from the screams at night Are keeping her from sleeping tight Images of fire, blood and tears The occupation is a crime Defenseless people terrified As desperation grows throughout the years Resisting occupation Is the only thing to do Whatever happened in Jenin Was deliberately kept unseen A shameless crime was covered up in veils But as time goes by we won't forget The truth will be uncovered yet As long as we are there to tell the tale
