Kiss My Wounds - ​anees

There will be rainbows out in Gaza

From the mountains to Ramallah

Rainbows out in Gaza

From the mountains to Ramallah

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

(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

There will be rainbows out in Gaza

From the mountains to Ramallah

There will be rainbows out in Gaza

From the mountains to Ramallah

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

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)

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
