RAISE YOUR VOICE Listen with heart, you’ll hear their voices callingfrom Palestine, where terror reigns supremevoices of sorrow, grief and desperationThey call to us: to our humanitySo raise your voice to protest inhumanity!And raise your voice for thousands who’ve been slainTogether we must change the course of historyKeep singing loud and proud ’til freedom is attained We sing for children – orphaned, scared and hungryWe sing for women – struggling to be freeWe sing for men who want to save their familiesYes, these are human beings like you and meSo raise your voice with power for the powerless!We call for peace, from river to the seaTogether we will honor every human lifeKeep singing loud and proud ’til Palestine is free Don’t call us anti-Semites when we stand for lifeWe’re anti-killing; we’re not anti-JewDon’t claim it’s self-defense when it is genocideDon’t try to silence us for speaking truthWe raise our voice for freedom and for libertyYou’ll never shut us up – so hear our prayerTogether we demand that Palestine be freeWe’ll keep on singing ’til you end this reign of terror!
