Never

Never, never will we surrender

not even in our scariest lifetime

Never, never shall they defeat us

not even in our scariest dream

not even in our scariest dream

 

With our stones and ramshackle rifles

in Ramallah and Jenin

against their tanks and murderous missiles

They may kill us – yet we win

 

Never, …

 

Like we defend our homes in Lebanon

like we defend our homes in Baghdad

They may starve us, but not into submission

If they dream of victory they must be mad

 

Never…

 

And you who sit and watch your telly

does their slaughter still make sense

Will you tolerate their terror

or will you come to our defense?

 

Never…
