There's an unsolved conflict
far away
There's a hopeless future
far away
No one seems to care when it's too
far away
When there is no drama
to be seen
When there are no bullets
to be seen
When there is no threats to our ways
to be seen
They have been displaced for
40 years
They've refused a war for
20 years
No one seems to care when days have
turned to years
Born in lifeless desert
No way out
Born without a passport
No way out
Born with parents' sufferings passed on
No way out
There's no seed you can grow
in the sand
There's no work to be done
with the sand
Nothing can be done when you're stuck
in the sand
Far away from them is
normal life
Close to them are dreams of
normal life
Where you could become someone is
normal life
This is similar to
Palestine
but what's different from
Palestine
is that they have tried what folks tell
Palestine
People use to say 'Two
start a fight'
and 'It always turns worse
with a fight'
but look what happens then when they choose
not to fight
I don't think a war is
what will do
but soon there's no option
if we do
still think taking stand is what we
cannot do
There is one solution
far away
if we start to feel for
far away
but no one seems to care when it's too
far away
