A Year

A year of Genocide, and the world still silent Turned its back while the bombs keep flyin' How can they watch, with their hands in their laps Numb to the screams, just scrollin' through the apps Governments debate,  it's all just chatter Homes turn to dust, like it all don't matter A year too long, nobody took a stand We're waiting on justice, better take it with our hands A year of silence when, Gaza screams loud A year of ruins yet, they still stand proud A year of genocide, while the world turns its head But Gaza lives on, with it's land painted red A year of silence when, Gaza screams loud A year of ruins yet, they still stand proud A year of genocide, while the world turns its head But Gaza lives on, with it's land painted red Through the ashes they rise, hearts made of stone Still standing strong, even when they're all alone No food, no water, but their will don't break They hold onto life, their dream they won't forsake In every shattered wall, in every burning street You see their spirits man, refusing the defeat For Gaza's not a place, it's the fight in their soul Even in the ruins, man, their faith remains so whole A year of silence when, Gaza screams loud A year of ruins yet, they still stand proud A year of genocide, while the world turns its head But Gaza lives on, with it's land painted red A year of silence when, Gaza screams loud A year of ruins yet, they still stand proud A year of genocide, while the world turns its head But Gaza lives on, with it's land painted red Through every tear shed, hope rises too In the heart of despair, their courage shines through From the ashes they bloom, like poppies in spring Its freedom that they want, and it's strength that they bring With every step they take, they take it with pride With hearts full of fire, they don't run or hide In the light of the dawn, their spirits will soar For Gaza is home, where their dreams were born
