Roots of the Olive Tree (Palestine) (@Astonmartin812 Remix)
[Verse 1] [Fast rhythmic darbuka starts, upbeat driving bassline] Beyond the heavy walls and the iron wire The guards stand tall, but they can't stop the fire Centuries of roots deep in the ancient soil They try to take the land, ignoring all our toil But we hold onto Sumud, steadfast and proud Standing in the ruins, singing it loud [Chorus] [Explosive Middle Eastern pop beat, energetic and driving] Free the ancient land, hear the voices rise! Solidarity shining in our eyes From the desert to the sea, our spirits will be free Our roots go deeper than the olive tree Long live the olive branch, let the heartbeat drum Waiting for the day of a new dawn to come! [Verse 2] [Traditional oud weaves through the upbeat pop rhythm] Justice is a word that the world forgot But here in the streets, it's the only thought They build up the fences, they silence the sound But the rhythm of the people shakes the ground A march for the future, a march for the right Dancing through the shadows, stepping into the light [Bridge] [Music drops to just clapping hands and a solo voice] Sumud in our hearts... Sumud in our souls... They can't break the spirit... They can't take control... [Chorus] [Full driving beat returns with maximum energy] Free the ancient land, hear the voices rise! Solidarity shining in our eyes From the desert to the sea, our spirits will be free Our roots go deeper than the olive tree Long live the olive branch, let the heartbeat drum Waiting for the day of a new dawn to come! [Outro] [High energy fade out with darbuka and oud] Long live the olive tree! From the desert to the sea... We will be free!
