My son
Where you going
This early morning
Is it the call to prayer
Is it the bus to Jerusalem
Are you going to the fair
Why is your face glowing
Like a man who sees’s his Lover
Is there something you wanna tell me
After all I am your father
Tell me my son,
Is it the girl from down the street
Is it the girl who comes to our house
And hides behind your door
No Father
I am leaving you this morning
I won’t be home tonight
I have a promise to my new father
Who is mighty yet so blind
I’ll answer to my call
The call that I shall answer
I won’t be a cage bird tonight
I’ll be free from all’s <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas:contacts” />st1:GivenNameGrace</st1:GivenName>
Tell mother how I’ll miss her
Tell her to celebrate
I’ll do this for my baby brother
So he can be free from this cage
When you stand over my head father
Hold your head up high
I’ll take my vengeance today
I’ll take back my sisters pride
They will call me names father
They will say I m a murderer
They will bulldoze this prison shack
They will come for you and mother
It’s not for seventy virgins
It’s not for my pride
It’s not for my lover
It’s not for my life
I won’t be a prisoner tonight
I won’t be number in a book
This is my cause father
This is for what they took
My son
I promise to you today
I’ll celebrate you tonight
I’ll hold your head up high
And shout with all my might
I’ll show them all your pictures
I’ll show them your baby steps
I’ll show them your scars
From that day when you
Were throwing stones
Oh how brave your were that day
When the tanks came to town
You were only seven
But you fought those Jew clowns
Let me help you with your vest my son
You should hide it under your shirt
wear this Jacket
It’s your grandfathers
It still has the keys to his house
Go and be free my son
Go out with a pride
Let me kiss your eyes
My first born
Let me kiss
<O:p
A martyr’s eyes
Please ignore spelling mistakes.
thank you<O:p
