Cover me

Cover me
Take me from the darkness
Quench my thirst
Shake that palm tree for us
 
Take my hand, yesterday became a martyr, today is a hostage, so take my tomorrow
Be my words , sing me, compose me and dance with me
 
I don’t need falling stars nor wishes
No witchcrafts nor miracles
I need hope and assertive decisions
I need a drive like the Saudi women
I don’t need a Saudi king or an English declaration
I’m sick of these sold out negotiations
I negotiated enough till I lost my keys home
We are not a naive generation, we are in the Ahed Tamimi generation
 
Take my hand, yesterday became a martyr, today is a hostage, so take my tomorrow
Be my words , sing me, compose me and dance with me
 
Either we keep on talking or we start listening
Either we float in the sky or keep repairing our shoes
You are married to the cause and another 4 women
Either tie the men’s arms or I will arm the women
So get off your horses, who gave you the right to resist alone
I’m not a Little Red Riding Hood waiting for the hunter’s rescue
I’m Leila Khaled facing the big bad wolves
 
Hey Ha, Hey Ha, Hey Ha - AMEN
Hey Ha, Hey Ha, Hey Ha - AMEN
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, be my words, sing me, compose me and dance with me
Cover me
Take me from the darkness
Quench my thirst
Shake that palm tree for us
 
A new Arab that bends for no one
Keep your bribe, I’m not for sale
I’m not afraid of any king or corrupted leader
I will pick up the palms from the highest tree
I’m decent without being afraid from hell
I do good without caring about paradise
I don’t care if a woman drives a car
A truck, fly a plane, leads a continent
Let her kiss, break up with whomever she wants
Dance like she wants, she is the subject, not you
I see the black and the whites
DAM will keep your blood flowing
The Keffiyeh is my tradition not my fashion
Will stick to it till I fulfill my vision
A new Arab, will try till the end
It’s not Hollywood so I won’t die at the beginning of this movie
 
Hey Ha, Hey Ha, Hey Ha - AMEN
Hey Ha, Hey Ha, Hey Ha - AMEN
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, be my words, sing me, compose me and dance with me
Cover me
Take me from the darkness
Quench my thirst
Shake that palm tree for us
