HANNA BARAKAT

Lyrics

SEPARATION

There’s a boy in the land of the Fertile Crescent
Where the Fatima Gate divides
Only water’s of Al Wazzani stream
Can flow across the borderlines

Every day he wanders closer
To the barrier surrounding him
Though, they warn him to stay away
He can’t help but move closer each day

Such a curious thing beyond his doorstep
A world he cannot touch

Separation - Can only last so long
Separation - Something feels so wrong
Separation - Is his heart’s hometown

Through the wall he can see their faces
Though he’ll never know their names
He can only dream about their lives
No one’d dare speak to him from the other side

Such a curious thing beyond his doorstep
A world he cannot touch

Separation - Can only last so long
Separation - Something feels so wrong
Separation - Is his heart’s hometown

Separation
Separation
Separation
Is his heart’s hometown
