Try not to cry little one
You, you’re not awareThat we’re awareOf your despairDon’t show your tearsTo your oppressorDon’t show your tears
[Chorus:]Try not to cry little oneYou’re not aloneI’ll stand by youTry not to cry little oneMy heart is your stoneI’ll throw with you
Isam:‘Ayn Jalut where David slew GoliathThis very same place that we be atPassing through the sands of timesThis land’s been the victim of countless crimesFrom Crusaders and MongolsTo the present aggressionThen the Franks, now even a crueller oppressionIf these walls could speak,Imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk onThere's only one wayBullets may kill, bones may breakStill I throw stones like David before me and I say:
Chorus
You, you’re not awareThat we’re awareOf your despairYour nightmares will endThis I promise, I promise

Lenny:No llores, no pierdas la feLa sed la calma el que hazeAgua de la arenaY tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedrasHaz hecho mares de este polvo
Waqas:I throw stones at my eyes’cause for way too long they’ve been dryPlus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighsI throw stones at my tongue’cause it should really keep its peaceI throw stones at my feet’cause they stray and lead to defeatA couple of big ones at my heart’cause the thing is freezing coldBut my nafs is still aliveAnd kicking unstoppable and on a rollI throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit himBut first at the man in the mirrorSo I can chase out the venom
Isam:Hmm, a little boy shot in the headJust another kid sent out to get some breadNot the first murder nor the lastAgain and again a repetition of the pastSince the very first day same storyYoung ones, old ones, some gloryHow can it be, has the whole world turned blind?Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!If these walls could speak,Imagine what would they sayFor me in this path that I walk onThere’s only one wayBullets may kill, bones may breakStill I throw stones like David before me and I say:
