The Wall (Palestine)

The wall between village and orchard KEEPS us from OUR olive trees. It’s massive and huge and it’s frightening. It’s built on our land that they siezed. The gate in the orchard is guarded By soldiers who come as they please. It’s hard to get in and get out now To tend to our crops and our trees. Chorus: Take down, take down, Take down those huge prison wa-a-alls. Take down, take down, Take down those huge prison walls. We heard the bulldozers are coming To clear out the orchards to build For others who come from the cities, With pavement and homes they’ll be filled. And then we’d be locked in our village. How could we feed our fam-il-ies? Oh, give back our lives and our land now! Oh, give us our land and our trees! Chorus
