In Palestine's Embrace, Where Mountains Rise

In Palestine's embrace, where mountains rise,

And the echo of resistance fills the skies,

There's a story etched in every stone,

Of a people's struggle, never alone.

Amidst the rubble, they plant seeds of hope,

In the face of darkness, they learn to cope.

With every heartbeat, a defiance grows.

Against oppression's chains, their spirit flows.

From olive groves to bustling streets,

Their resilience, a rhythm that never retreats.

In the face of tyranny, they stand tall,

United in their fervent call.

For every tear shed, a vow is made,

To resist, to persist, undismayed.

In Gaza's blockade, in West Bank's plight,

They rise, they fight, with all their might.

In the heart of Jerusalem, where prayers ascend,

Their faith in justice will never bend.

For the land they cherish, they'll never yield,

Their determination an unbreakable shield.

So let their story echo far and wide,

Of a people's struggle, their dignity denied.

In the quest for freedom, they endure,

With courage unmatched, steadfast and pure.
