Voices Across Borders: David P Carroll’s Poem for Palestine

In the heart of Palestine its yearning 

For freedom and from the 

Mountains so ancient to the seas that are So blue and the spirit of Palestine is strong and true and songs about Palestine are

Been sung with strong voices fierce and bright echoing softly in the starry night

And we need our freedom wild and free

And Palestine was always beautiful 

For the whole world to stop and see 

And freedom is whispered in every corner 

So spread our wings and touch the sky

Embracing hope as we learn to fly and

Palestine we love you it's so true and 

My heart smiles when I whisper your name 

Through valleys deep and mountains tall

We seek the path we heed the call

From whispered dreams to roaring cries

In every heart the spirit of Palestine lies

And we will never leave you and 

With every step upon this land

We weave a tapestry hand in hand

Each thread a story each color a fight

For justice for truth for what is right

No chains or walls or cage will

Keep us quite and we will rise 

Above we turn the page

With every voice that dares to rise

We carve our fate beneath the skies

And crys of freedom will never end Palestine we love you and 

Through the hardships and trials that time has bestowed

We rise with our banners our dreams in the road

For injustice may linger but it cannot erase

The passionate dreamers who long for a place 

And for the freedom of Palestine

We shall not fail justice will prevail 

Stand for truth and justice and stand

For hope and in our hearts good will prevail and 

Through stormy nights and gentle dawns

We chase the light our spirit spawns

With hope as our lantern love as our guide

We forge ahead with hearts open wide so 

Stand for peace and love and for the

Freedom for Palestine and 

Together we stand a vibrant throng

United in purpose forever strong

And Palestine you'll be free one day 

For freedom is not just a fleeting dream

It’s the heartbeat of every daring theme.
