In 1948, the natives were expelled
From the land of the ancestors,
their homes and cities shelled
From the traitors in Transjordan and the clandestine British demand,
by the settler Zionist army
that rampaged across the land
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,
We hear your desperate plea
That once again across the land
Your people can be free
Oh Palestine, Oh Palestine
Your people live in fear
We demand your emancipation
From the river to the sea
In 1967, Israel did invade
To conquer and to colonize
What little had remained
The people of old Palestine
Once again their fates entwined
With the Zionist occupation
Of their homes and weary minds
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,
We hear your desperate plea
That once again across the land
Your people can be free
Oh Palestine, Oh Palestine
Your people live in fear
We demand your emancipation
From the river to the sea
In 2023, they’ve come a final time
To destroy your homes and families
With a murderous lethal design
The bombs o’er head are falling
As our leaders continue their lies
The sky does glow and the blood it flows
As we hear the children’s cries
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,
We hear your desperate plea
That once again across the land
Your people can be free
Oh Palestine, Oh Palestine
Your people live in fear
We demand your emancipation
From the river to the sea
We stand with your emancipation
Your people will be free
