From the River to the Sea
From the river to the sea
Lord, someone hear our plea
Sometimes it feels like we will drown
The tides keep pulling us down
We are awash in a flood of pain
That keeps falling down like rain
Is there no ship, to sail away
Towards the dawn of a new day?
From the river to the sea
One day we will be free
We will walk hand in hand
Return to our motherland
From the river to the sea
Wallah, this land is holy
When we’re made whole as one
A new day will have begun
For this river is made of tears
shed over 76 years
Flowing into a dead sea
Can we stay afloat in this misery?
Oh water, wash over these lands
And wipe the bloodstains of our hands
We’ll sleep peacefully in the lion’s den
The olive tree will grow again
From the river to the sea
We still hold the key
To break free from these chains
We will rise again
From the river to the sea
Lord have mercy on me
When love will reign
There’ll be an end to all our pain
From the river to the sea
Wallah, listen to me
Together let us pray
That we may find a way
From the river to the sea
May there no longer be
Oppression, hate and war
We’ll find peace, Inshallah
