Peter Liam Holcross - Palestine lyrics

The birds have been scattered from their nest out of season The sheep have been driven from their fold without a reason Some children have never seen their home; Who will free them? The sun still shines the same upon the land The mountains and the hills and every man And yet there is the stain of oppression in the Land. PALESTINE ... you are deep within the heart Of all the children of your land Whose hopes in you are chained: PALESTINE ... like the fire that never dies 'Til freedom reigns beneath your skies Faithful we will remain. The sacred dove of peace our greatest possession Is bleeding in the streets throughout the nation And lying at the feet of occupation. For those without a home, the memory grows more bitter With each pa**ing day and every freezing winter With each pa**ing day and every freezing winter.
