I saw this pic one day of young Faris Odeh At 14 already so brave Your pops just wanted you to obey But you knew you had to go your own way Used to go everyday to the front lines Only holding stones Dave vs. Goliath You tried to hide from the cameras 'Cause if your dad found out, he'd be mad bruh But from a safe place far away A photog saw young Faris Odeh 14 years old, 15 yards away From the turret of a Merkava tank Show 'em you ain't afraid and never will be The picture still give me chills B IDF shot you in the neck the next week You was just about to turn 15 Did they beat the drum slowly? Play the oud in a low key? The sound of a death march as they lowered you down Did the firqa play for ya The last post and chorus Not yet a man but he still died as a soldier In so many hearts you're still living on But sometimes I can't help but think about your mom You'd be grown today, maybe your own family But to her is you still a kid at 14? Your picture is famous like a visual psalm I even got it tatted on my arm But when your mom the picture does she feel the same? Or after all these years, is it still just pain I wonder which pics remain in her picture frames And did they maintain through the latest campaign? Did the memories make it through the hellish flames When the bombs dropped for eleven days? We're still seeing pictures of houses burn So now yours is worth a hundred thousand words And even the stars in the sky yo Are just pics from a long, long time ago Did they beat the drum slowly? Play the oud in a low key? The sound of a death march as they lowered you down Did the firqa play for ya The last post and chorus Not yet a man but he still died as a soldier I hope one day soon we see the sun shine On those green fields of Palestine But can you ever really change callous minds? And how many more children have to die? How they sleep at night, these grown folks? When they kill a kid is it weird seeing their photo? I don't know, but I do know that it happened again And again, and again, and again, and again Will it ever end in the settlement? Is every kid destined to be a veteran? We need better men than we got now An old lesson, but we forgot how It's like on the ground I found their romaine They let us down, ask Mrs. Odeh She said she was afraid it would all be for none And what's actually changed? She's just lost her son Did they beat the drum slowly? Play the oud in a low key? The sound of a death march as they lowered you down Did the firqa play for ya The last post and chorus Not yet a man but he still died as a soldier Did they beat the drum slowly? Play the oud in a low key? The sound of a death march as they lowered you down Did the firqa play for ya The last post and chorus Not yet a man but he still died as a soldier
