Arafat Whispers

[Intro] Arafat, a wind through the palm shade [Verse 1] Breathing history on a horizon wide, where tents remember steps of time Footsteps press the earth like prayers in the dust, a chorus formed of wind and rhyme [Pre-Chorus] Names fold into the stories that the camp keeps near Hope travels light, carried by the desert cheer [Chorus] Arafat, the hills answer your call Echoes of a people rise, then fall Arafat, under the open sky so vast We walk the map of memory, shadows cast [Verse 2] Markets hum with barter songs, colors spill like dusk on faces prayed for peace Lanterns glow while caravans slow, carrying dreams that never cease [Pre-Chorus] History leans in close, whispering what will be Together we stand, longing for a gentler sea [Chorus] Arafat, the hills answer your call Echoes of a people rise, then fall Arafat, under the open sky so vast We walk the map of memory, shadows cast [Bridge] If the walls could listen, they would tell us to endure If the stars could guide us, they would show a path that’s sure [Chorus] Arafat, the hills answer your call Echoes of a people rise, then fall Arafat, under the open sky so vast We walk the map of memory, shadows cast [Outro] Arafat, a name in the wind, a memory we hold fast
