[Verse 1]
Captain Falasteen, I came with the key,
Gaza in my chest and the whole world see.
Street by street, yeah, I carry that name,
Not for the cameras, I’m here for the pain.
Stone in the hand, but the soul stay steel,
Every closed door get the real to heal.
Torn up homes, but the spirit don’t break,
Planting hope in the cracks that they make.
I seen mothers pray through the smoke and dust,
Still they rise when the night won’t trust.
No more cages, no more blood on the sand,
We want a future, not a boot in the land.
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, let the walls all shake,
Every lie gonna fall, every chain gonna break.
Hands up high for the ones still free,
From the river to the sea, let them all breathe.
[Chorus]
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Captain Falasteen, we draw the line
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Heart on fire, we won’t resign
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Let the children sleep, let the sun still shine
[Verse 2]
I don’t speak hate, I speak truth to the throne,
Every blood-stained policy gonna come back home.
No more grief turned into a headline game,
No more acting like the wound got a name.
You can’t bury a people with a wall and a lie,
They keep dancing in the dust, they keep reaching the sky.
Olive branch in the hand, fire in the eye,
Young ones march and the old ones guide.
And I know the pain got teeth, got a bite,
But we choose life in the hardest night.
Captain Falasteen, I’m calling you near,
Build that dawn out of sweat and tear.
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it loud, let the walls all shake,
Every lie gonna fall, every chain gonna break.
Hands up high for the ones still free,
From the river to the sea, let them all breathe.
[Chorus]
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Captain Falasteen, we draw the line
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Heart on fire, we won’t resign
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Let the children sleep, let the sun still shine
[Bridge]
One day, the bread come warm again,
One day, the sea won’t hide the men.
One day, the girls sing clear in the yard,
One day, the boys won’t need to be hard.
No more fear in the doorway frame,
No more graves with a stolen name.
Captain Falasteen, keep that flame,
We sing for justice, we chant that same.
[Final Chorus]
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Captain Falasteen, we draw the line
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Heart on fire, we won’t resign
Free Palestine, free Palestine
Let the children sleep, let the sun still shine
