I SHALL FIGHT

I shall fight until Palestine is free

Kill me but my poetry lives

My son carries my pen

My grandson carries my rock

Take my freedom but my soul lives

Destroy my olive grove

My heart roams the serene hills

My spirit endures in the roots

Take away my shelter

Destroy my home

My land still belongs to me

My soil cannot be removed

Take away my will to live

Destroy my spirit

My conscience remains strong

My endurance is perpetual

Take away any hope of peace

Destroy the two state solution

My numbers cannot be silenced

My heirs will fight apartheid

Take me away from this earth

Destroy my name

My heirs will continue to fight

My name will continue to resonate

I shall fight until Palestine is free

Kill me but my poetry lives

My daughter carries my pen

My granddaughter carries my rock
