Darkness is all around me and
My heart holds a silent tear and
The world moves on a hurried stream
While I remain a waking dream
A lonely Palestinian like me
And nobody around the world can see
And nobody to hold me tight
Or kiss me goodnight and I'm
Just fading star in the dark night
A whispered name a distant plea
I'm just a lonely Palestinian and
Nobody can see and
The olive trees they stand so tall
Witness to every rise and fall
And I'm saddened nobody can see me
And through the silence I hold
My memories tight deep in my heart
And no comfort finds my weary soul
As justice fails to make me whole and
I'm just a lonely Palestinian
With nowhere to go.
