From the River to the Sea Video (MV)

Where the Middle East meets West
I ain't talking bout America I'm talking where I'm at
A little seaside neighborhood where no one would invest
Full of refugees barely moving out of tents
Ain't have too much of choice where they were sent
Kicked out of their host lands situation tense
In a brand new state homeland of their descent
But the thought of coming home kept the spirit feeling blessed
From the river to the sea
A lifeline for the people like me
Fostering conditions where my people might flee
Acting shocked when we flock back to our history
We ain't have a choice but even when we had it
Didn't even matter how long we'd been scattered
Children of the land can't leave our house abandoned
You shake leaves from a branch the roots still planted
From the river to the sea
Several million of us living in between
From the river to the sea
We ain't gonna pretend that we don't know what you mean
From the river to the sea
You want the land free of the people like me
From the river to the sea
חזרנו הביתה forever it will be
The west said compromise please and we signed it
Handed us a pen said agree and we signed it
This time it'll work trust me and we signed it
Survived a genocide when our enemies declined it
A slaughter like that of the Mongols and crusades
That's what the Arab league leaders say as they invade
A little early planning all the victory parades
In the end they ain't have no victory to claim
Couple hundred thousand of their own their war displaced
Just to use as pawns in the next war they'd wage
Couple hundred thousand Jews dealt with their rage
But the rest of the world loves ignoring that stage
It ain't start in October go back to 48!
Damn right but if I count right that's a little late
We could go back a thousand years but for times sake
Since the 1920s we still ain't catch a break
From the river to the sea
Several million of us living in between
From the river to the sea
We ain't gonna pretend that we don't know what you mean
From the river to the sea
You want the land free of the people like me
From the river to the sea
חזרנו הביתה forever it will be
From the river to the sea
That's what you hear when you walking through the street
Which river? Which sea?
No clue they got nowhere else to be
My future's just a game to them
Our lives ain't nothing but a way for them
To feel accomplished at the end of the day and then
Move on disconnected from the pain we sense
Make it make sense from the sea to the river
The land that my ancestors wrote we'd be delivered
Is littered with artifacts written in the script or
Language that I use today when I order dinner
From the sea to the river where we always been living in
Thousands of years still standing resilient
In spite of the way they reframing definitions
It's my wife's grandfather who's considered Palestinian
From the river to the sea
Several million of us living in between
From the river to the sea
We ain't gonna pretend that we don't know what you mean
From the river to the sea
You want the land free of the people like me
From the river to the sea
חזרנו הביתה forever it will be
