The world has changed and so have we, United we would never be. Consumed by selfish greed our leaders fall, The propaganda war blinds us all.
Unless we change for a new tomorrow, The Lebanese soil will cry in sorrow, Recalling the days we Lebanese stood firm, Against all odds, fighting by our own terms.
In the land of the strong, the generous and the wise Conducted disorder reduced our proud size Us divided so is the ground under our feet All alone the road becomes too steep
All that we need is to look at history Read what was there and compare to what we see The wise knows the brain, the warrior knows the heart Carriers of blood hide not your origins, unleash your mark.
But what land do I speak of? Was it the land of the free and brave? But havenβt they all fled off? For their future they must save.
To seek new opportunities they have gone, Beyond the seven seas and the western stars, Where they can bloom safely, save their sons From where lies corruption and wars.
Yet under the dreaded shade of corruption Still runs a silent whisper of light, unsold So raise your heads and shout out this resolution Let the whistle turn into anthems of hope
One day the whole world will hear our shout That day we will have learnt to use our might We did not think or let our spirit show But today on the ******* wall, we pierced a beam of light.
So Rise mighty phoenix and spread your wings wide. Scorch the earth and awaken the spirits, the everlasting fire.
Light a candle, for those gone, Light a fire, the new dawn.
