For Hajj Sami Sadeq...

lyrics

Do you recall the mountain breeze
When Sami stood tall against the tree,
The very last day upon his feet,
Gazing into Jordan?

Yet on that night within our streets,
When your men stayed to fall asleep,
And they awoke to find that we
Hadn't cut their beards away.

But they keep burning, burning, burning the Road.

Well then your men,
Well they decreed,
It's time for all of us to leave-
We all sighed, the children cried.
Our village turned their heads away.

As we slumped and dragged our feet.
The paralyzed man,
He kept his seat.
Keeping close to his heart
The bullet gift you gave to him.

But Sami keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, Home.

And Father’s thanking God
That his bricks aren't dust.
And Mother has a place for Ramadan,
A place to fast for Ramadan.

And we're not going to fall when Sami's rolling.

A place to fast for Ramadan
Sami keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, Home.
