‎kiss my wounds

[Chorus: anees]
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
Rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah

[Post-Chorus: Kevin Spears]
My blood mixes with the dirt (Ahh)
I smile despite the overwhelming hurt
Lay me down and kiss my wounds
Beneath the waters of the same moon

[Verse 1: anees]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
How many angels have to die
For you to cry under that Gazan sky
There is no hope for mercy
How many fathers cry themselves to sleep at night
Closing their daughter's eyes
Kissing one last goodbye
If only I could change the rules of space and time
I would bend the light of day until freedom shines
Like seeds, my people rise
Firm as the olive root, we will survive
And when this storm is through

[Chorus: anees]
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah

[Verse 2: anees]
When I look in my grandmother’s eyes
I see a life of poems and pain
Part of her soul never got on that boat
And the rest of her spirit remains
In her hometown by the riverside
Near the ripple tide of the sea
'Cause her body lives in America
But her heart is in Falasteen
Where millions of children are living in tents
Trying to survive in the hellfire but the bombing is way too intense
I’ve seen dead bodies in shopping bags
So America can make cents
I can’t believe this evil
But when the rains over like a rainbow
Love will reign over my people
Why don't you just

[Chorus: anees]
Lay me down and kiss my wounds (Ohh)
Lay me down and kiss my wounds
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
So why don't you just lay me down
And kiss my wounds (Ohh)

[Outro: anees]
Lay me down and kiss my wounds
I see rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
I see rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
