Who am I? Who am I?
I am the voice of the voiceless
I am Gaza, I am West Bank, I am Palestine
I am Children of War
I am resistance
I am not afraid
I am occupied and I will resist.

Let it be known, Let it be known
As I walk through the valleys of the blood soaked land
I shall fear no evil
With a smile on my face, I shall lay down my life for the freedom
Of my people
Let it be known, Let it be known

I am the voice of the oppressed
No one can deny my right to resist
Occupied and under fire
Sixty years in the making, I’m a born survivor.
Conceived in the womb of Palestine
Fathered by the war
Raised in the rubbles, playing with blood and gore.
Imagine the life of a child of war
Imagine a mother, giving birth under fire
Imagine, imagine, imagine an expected mother running for cover.

Let be known, Let it be known
It is time to break the silence
How long will the world ignore sixty years of violence?
And crimes against humanity, genocide and the eventual inevitability.
It is time for an intifada, a revolution
People of the world it is time to unite
Against all aggression, occupation and oppression
How long will the world ignore my righteous indignation?

Let it be known, let it be known
As I walk through the valleys of the blood soaked land
I shall fear no evil
With a smile on my face, I shall lay down my life for the freedom
Of my people
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Cries the newborn.
