THE LANGUAGE OF PEACE
Lyrics: Shadia Mansour
[English Translation]
Beware of the language of peace
It’s all gibberish when its just words with no action
The people are sick and tired of broken promises
I’ve heard enough of this language of peace
Of hearing the same slogans over and over
Getting bored of the same old story…
Beware of the familiar faces
Of the sketchy smiles
Of the scripts we all know too well
One minute you’re considered a terrorist
And the next minute you could be considered
A partner of peace or a statesman…
Peace seems to be hurting us, instead of saving us
Is anyone hearing us?
How many times should we allow our dignities to be exploited?
How long should we allow this silence to go on for?
More than 60 years and we’re still waiting for peace
As long as peace remains in progress
The people will continue to pay the price
Since ‘67, meetings and assemblies
And the people suffer from this language of peace
