Doc Jazz - Home (for Jenin) Lyrics
Desolately looking at what once was homeAnd wondering why it had to goThe little girl swallows her tearsYesterday the soldiers cameTook everything she had awayNothing left to live off but her fearsThis crazy world is lettingThe culprits get awayRefugees in their own landDeported by a savage handAnd thrown into famine and despairBut around her neck the front door keysWill keep alive the memoriesReturning home is now her only careAnd now she still remembersHow daddy used to sayHome is always in your heartThey can't take that awayBe strong, even when life gets roughAnd nothing seems to go your waySomeday, justice will overcomeTheir lies will fall apartBut till then let home live in your heartNightmares from the screams at nightAre keeping her from sleeping tightImages of fire, blood and tearsThe occupation is a crimeDefenseless people terrifiedAs desperation grows throughout the yearsResisting occupationIs the only thing to doWhatever happened in JeninWas deliberately kept unseenA shameless crime was covered up in veilsBut as time goes by we won't forgetThe truth will be uncovered yetAs long as we are there to tell the tale
