Lyrics
Every night, the desert shakes
Fire keeps me awake
Every morning, Omar slides on
His worn down sandals
He goes to meet the soldiers guarding
Rubble along the highway
Along the highway
He waits for liberation
Along the highway
Liberation
At dusk I pack up
Omar writes his name in my hand
He makes it home that night
Family waiting for the food and water he's brought back
And tonight I'll hear the thunder rolling over fire
And tonight I'll hear the thunder rolling over fire
I lay in the sand, waiting for my liberation
I lay in the sand, waiting for my liberation
But I know
It's painted in your heart
But I know
It's painted in your heart
(In your heart)
But I know
It's painted in your heart
(In your heart)
But I know
It's painted in your heart
I lay in the sand waiting for my liberation
My liberation
