You call me a women I call you a man [singlepic id=157 w=320 h=240 float=right]
I love thee endlessly you love me when you can
I rise you up when your down You push me down every way you can
I honor your name and you forget who I’m
So why do you believe I will still surrender to you, who I’m?
I call you my women, you call me man…
With you I’m the man… with any other women I’m just a man
I hurt thee and you keep me around
I lose hope and the will to go on … you give me hope and strength beyond
I stray away you show me the way
So surrender to me who you are
Because without you I’m an oblivious soul
A bird with no sky
A Palestinian with no land
A sea with no shore
I’m not your woman there is no way you can
I was the sky but you chose to die
I was the soul but you chose the sole
I’M the Palestinian with no land
And you are just the rival who stole the land
So don’t call me your women you are just a man
I lived for your land, and you lived for someone else’s land
