West Bank Lyrics

Mother held back her tears as she said goodbye
She must be so proud of me
It’s not everyday your son, proves he’s not afraid to die
I washed my hands and packed my clothes
The brightest whites from head to toe
Hopped on a bus that left Amman
For the most important hajj I’d ever been on

Lets go down to the West Bank
Lets go we’ll have our fun
Lets go down to the West Bank
Lets go tell everyone

She must be so proud of me

I had everything in place I had my objectives in mind I had planned so carefully
Reasons not to be here well
I heard them all
But none of them could change my mind
It’s drastic measures for drastic times
The bus I rode through Jerusalem
Was the shortest hajj I’ve ever been on

Lets go down to the West Bank
Lets go we’ll have our fun
Lets go down to the West Bank
Lets go tell everyone
We’re going down and you know we’re going down

She must be so proud of me now
