Seeds of Truth, Flowers of Freedom

The imperialists played god in '48
Carving up land without consent's sake  
Giving what was not theirs to take
A crime indeed they did make

No right had they to Palestine's earth  
To displace people without moral worth
With violent foundations from the first
Justice and freedom were cursed  

Can guns and greed ever lead to peace?
When people's will is not released  
Suffering and conflict will not cease
Until all chains are released  

Who are they to draw lines on sand?
To claim authority over a stolen land
With the blood of innocents on their hands
Will this injustice ever end?

The wounds of history still ache
When will humanity finally awake?  
And see that peace is not to take
But to give, for conscience's sake

The Strong only duty is to aid the weak
Not to oppress those who cannot speak
Might does not mean to dominate the meek
But uplift those who freedom seek

Chains of the past bind us still  
Have we not learned enough lessons of ill?
It is time for truth, justice, and goodwill
The light of peace, may it fill

What is a home without consent?
A prison built by violent intent
Where exiled souls do lament
Yearning for days of content

So hear the cry of the displaced
See the injustice, its bitter taste  
In passion for justice make haste
Let not more blood and tears go to waste

Power and greed caused this plight
To impose their will with arrogant might
No matter how long, truth will bring light
And show the wrongs that caused this blight

Who is free when sisters and brothers are bound?
Justice is lost, by deaf ears their cries drowned
Until all are free may peace be found
Chains and walls must come down   

Can peace bloom from bloodied ground?  
Where bones of the innocent are found
And exiles wander aimlessly around
Will their cries ever make a sound?

So easy to turn and walk away
From the pain of yesterday  
But healing comes when debts are paid  
Making amends for errors made

Ours is not to hoard liberty’s flame  
But share the light, in humanity's name
Igniting justice that lies lame  
Standing for those who have no claim

If we close doors to others in need
Then we sow the seeds of greed  
Reaping discontent and misery for our feed
Walls will not let our conscience be freed

Come, open your hearts, see how they bleed  
People torn from their home like a weed  
This is not the world we need  
Where might makes right and the mighty succeed

We are one global human tribe
All worthy of rights to thrive  
Break unjust borders that divide
Let compassion be your guide

Can peace be built on broken hearts?
Forced apart from their native parts  
Wandering the world in scattered parts
Carrying the pain that never departs  

If war's roots made this grief to grow
Then peace's seeds we must sow  
With care and wisdom seeds we sow
May flowers of justice bloom and grow

Tear down the walls of hate and fear
The future calls, the vision is clear
All are worthy, this truth hold dear
Open your arms, let justice steer

Too long have we closed our eyes  
To the suffering, pain and cries  
If we walk the road of truth, we rise  
To finally see the justice light that lies

The road is long but must be walked  
Truth can heal where lives are stalked  
Hope will grow from the seeds we've sown
When we no longer walk alone

Let bonds of love replace rusted chains  
Till not one life in exile remains  
For our shared humanity reins  
Beyond all borders, sects and reigns

In oneness we cross dividing lines  
And heal wounds of past times  
Compassion shall be our guiding signs  
Justice, our shared divine

Tear down the walls, end this cruel theft
Return what was taken, this healing left
No longer will hate and greed be left
Only the light of love's wealth

How long will suffering be bought and sold?  
Chains of oppression, how long will they hold?
Tell me, how much will peace cost in gold?
While people's dreams remain untold

We are all beams of the same light  
Radiant threads of liberty's kite  
Soaring towards justice and human rights  
Guided by humanity's inner might

If arms reach out beyond all divide  
And see all human clans aligned  
Borders would open up so wide  
That souls chained would be untied

Can we build walls to lock each other out  
Separate, suspicious, ruled by doubt?
Or bring the walls down and let love sprout  
healing humanity's heart throughout

Come, friends, break those dividing lines  
Between yours and mine, us and them  
We are one global human tribe  
All parts of one sacred stem

Let us speak for those who cannot
The displaced people, anchorless, adrift  
May their voices echo clear and oft  
Until their stolen rights are lifted  

We are one current joined at the source  
Buoyed by tides of justice and remorse  
To change the tide of suffering's course  
United by humanity's force

Too long have we closed our eyes  
To the injustice, pain and cries  
The hour has come for us to rise    
Stand for what is good and wise

Let us walk the road less traveled  
Where truth and justice lies unraveled  
Lighting the way for all who are able  
To build the world that is unstable

If we share each other's tears and laughter  
And face each moment joined together after  
Borders would not separate, nor power scatter  
But lift souls, like birds escaping captor

Come build a world for all to live  
Where all are free to grow and give  
Beyond the lines that divide  
In oneness, we are unified

Let bonds of love replace rusted chains  
Till not one life in exile remains  
For our shared humanity reigns  
Beyond all borders, sects and reigns

We are one global human tribe  
All worthy of rights to thrive  
Break unjust borders that divide  
Let compassion be your guide

The world calls for our hearts to open  
To care for those tossed and broken  
Healing humanity's unspoken pain   
Until their stolen rights we reclaim

Walls built by power's violent hands  
Continue injustice in our lands  
Until we join as kindred strands  
And let love remake the lands

Come build a world where hearts are home  
Where exiles no longer need roam  
Where walls that divide are thrown  
Down till peace in all hearts has grown

We share one cosmic root and seed  
Interwoven like a sacred reed  
May we flower beyond greed  
Cultivating the world in its need

For too long have unjust lines been drawn  
Ignoring humanity's shared dawn  
But a new day is being born  
When all chains and walls are gone

The road is long but we walk together  
Through storms and light, as one feather  
Righting wrongs in any weather   
Till justice blooms like wild heather

Now is the time to rearrange  
The broken pieces without estrange  
Heal the past's wounds with love's strange  
Power till all chains liberated change

We are one current joined at the source  
Destined to change injustice's course  
Led by truth's unstoppable force  
Weaving a world so justice can course  

Let justice roll like the sea  
From shore to shore, wild and free
Washing away chains unjustly
 Till exiles once more know liberty
