Explain the proposal clearly.

Look at your child for a moment
If you have one, look again
If not, see your brother's face
Your sister, your mother, your friend
And if you stand alone tonight
Then meet the mirror with your eyes
Now place that face in Palestine
Under hunger, dust, and skies
We read of wars from long ago
And curse the cruelty of men
We say, "How did the world stand by?"
Then watch it happen again
Children starve in Palestine
While speeches dress the shame
A genocide before our eyes
And power still debates the name
Say the name
Palestine has a name
If that was yours beneath the rubble
If that was yours without a bed
Would heaven and earth be too much to move
To keep the living from the dead?
Three days down
Seventy-two hours still
No war, no hate, no blood to spill
Just the people's will
Stay home for Palestine
Let the silence cross the sea
One world, one wound, one cry
Let the children eat
We are not asking for your money
We are not asking you to fight
We ask for three days with your loved ones
In the name of human life
Sit beside the ones you cherish
Hold them close and understand
Somewhere a parent holds the dust
Where once there was a little hand
Stock your water, plan your bread
Speak to work, your street, your town
A peaceful pause, a lawful stand
Let the profit engines down
Not the healers
Keep them moving
Not the water
Keep it flowing
Not the food lines
Keep them open
Not the children
Keep them warm
Keep doctors with the wounded
Keep firemen on the road
Keep medicine, bread, and clean water
Keep mercy carrying the load
But stop the towers counting money
Stop the markets, stop the mines
Stop the offices of profit
That feed on ordinary time
Every kingdom needs the worker
Every port, every bank, every wheel
When common hands become one silence
Even kings are made to feel
Made to feel
Made to hear
From Africa, let the drums remember
From the Arab winds, let the strings cry out
From Europe, let the bells bear witness
From Asia, let the river voices sound
From islands, fields, and crowded cities
From every worker, every home
Let the world become one body
And no child stand alone
This is not against a people
This is not revenge or flame
This is mercy for the starving
This is justice with a name
Palestine
Palestine
One month
Open the roads
Let food pass through
Let water flow
Not to armies
Not to weapons
To the children
To the families
To the sick
To the hungry
To those with nowhere left to go
One month
For bread, water, refuge, and medicine
One month
To end the starvation and open the way
And if the powerful still refuse
If the hungry are still buried in the news
Then the tools go down again
Two weeks at a time
Peaceful, lawful, side by side
Until Palestine can breathe
Until they breathe
Until they live
Three days down
Seventy-two hours still
No war, no hate, no blood to spill
Just the people's will
Stay home for Palestine
Let the silence cross the sea
One world, one wound, one cry
Let the children eat
Power is not only in palaces
Power is not only in gold
Power is every hand that labours
Every heart that won't be sold
We are not helpless watchers
We are not shadows by the throne
If our hands can build the world
Our hands can call it home
Let them eat
Let them drink
Let them live
Let them breathe
Look at your child for a moment
Look in the mirror if you must
No loved one should be starving
While silence calls itself just
Three days down
Then one month to move
Bread, water, refuge, medicine
Let Palestine live
Let Palestine live
Let the children live
Let humanity live

Look at your child for a moment
If you have one, look again
If not, see your brother's face
Your sister, your mother, your friend
Look in the mirror tonight
Hold that gaze and stay
Now place that face in Palestine
Where the little ones fade away
We read of wars from long ago
And curse the cruelty of men
We ask how the world stood by
Then watch it happen again
Children starve in Palestine
While power debates the name
A wound is open to the sky
And silence dresses shame
If that was yours beneath the dust
If that was yours without a bed
Would heaven and earth be too much to move
To keep the living from the dead?
Three days down
Seventy-two hours still
No war, no hate
No blood to spill
Just the people's will
Stay home for Palestine
Let the silence cross the sea
One world, one wound, one cry
Let the children eat
We do not ask you now for money
We do not ask you now to fight
We ask three days with those you love
In the name of human life
Plan your water, plan your bread
Speak to work, your street, your town
A peaceful pause, a lawful stand
Let the profit engines down
Not the healers
Keep them moving
Not the water
Keep it flowing
Keep the doctors
Keep medicine
Keep the children
Safe and warm
From every worker, every home
Let the world become one body
From every city, every shore
Let no child stand alone
This is not revenge or fire
This is mercy for the starving
Bread and water, roads made open
Let Palestine keep breathing
Three days down
Seventy-two hours still
No war, no hate
No blood to spill
Just the people's will
Stay home for Palestine
Let the silence cross the sea
One world, one wound, one cry
Let the children eat
Let them eat
Let them drink
Let them live
Let them breathe
Let Palestine live
Let the children live
Let humanity live

Yeah
Three days down
No money, no funds
Just the people
Just the world
Listen
Look at your kid for a second, then look again
Look at your brother, your mother, your closest friend
Now put that face where the cameras don't stay
Where the bread runs thin and the skies turn gray
I ain't here for a headline, I'm here for the heart
For the ones still breathing while the world falls apart
We scroll past pain like it's not our own
Then wonder why mercy feels cold as stone
Tell me, what would you move if that child was yours?
Would you knock down silence? Would you open doors?
Would you call your street, your job, your town?
Would you stand with the world when it's Three Days Down?
This ain't rage for the sake of noise
This is one world finding its voice
No hate in the message, no harm in the sound
Just ordinary people saying: three days down
If one small life can ask the sky
Why nobody heard the sound
Then every heart that still can feel
Has got to stand up now
Three days down
Let the whole world feel it
Three days down
Let the silence reveal it
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the whole world still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
They said you're just one person, what can you do?
But one becomes a million when the message breaks through
Then ten becomes fifty, then a hundred more
Then the whole world's knocking on the same closed door
No donation box, no political game
No chasing clout, no selling pain
Just pledge with your name, let conscience speak
Let the strong stand up for the hungry and weak
Keep the doctors moving, keep the water clean
Keep the care hands working where the need is seen
Keep the medicine running, keep the mercy near
But pause the profit machine till the message is clear
Every worker, every parent, every student, every street
Every hand that builds the world can slow the world's heartbeat
Not to break it, not to burn it, not to tear it down
But to say we see the suffering, and it stops now
If love is more than words we say
If mercy still has ground
Then let the world remember itself
When we go three days down
Three days down
Let the whole world feel it
Three days down
Let the silence reveal it
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the whole world still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
This is for the cup with nothing inside
For the parent who prayed and the child who cried
For the names that the world never learned to say
For the lives we refuse to let fade away
God, Allah, Creator, hear the sound
Of a world waking up when it kneels to the ground
Not in hatred, not in fear
But with mercy loud enough for every throne to hear
So mark the date when the voices arrive
One hundred fifty million saying mercy survives
No money, no funds, no violence, no flame
Just the world standing still in the children's name
Call your people, call your city, call your street
Put the pledge in your hands, put the truth on repeat
If the world feels powerless, let the world be found
One people, one promise, three days down
Three days down
Let the whole world feel it
Three days down
Let the silence reveal it
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the whole world still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
No money
No funds
Only your voice
Only your commitment
Only your stand
Three days down
Pledge now

Look at your child for a moment
Look again
Now place that face in Palestine
And tell me what remains
Small hands in the dust
Eyes lifted to the sky
A cup without water
A question asking why
We read the old stories
And swear we would have stood
Then turn from the living
And call our silence good
Every child had a morning
Every home had a flame
Every face was somebody
Every soul had a name
If that was yours beneath the dust
Would your heart stay still?
Would heaven be too far to move
Or would you find the will?
Three days down
Let the whole world hear it
Three days down
Let the silence rise
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the world stand still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
We do not ask for money
We do not ask for fame
We ask the world for conscience
We ask you to say their name
Plan your water
Plan your bread
Speak to work
Your street, your town
A peaceful pause
A lawful stand
Let the profit engines down
Keep the healers moving
Keep the mercy near
Keep the medicine flowing
Keep the lifelines clear
But still the empty offices
Still the buying machines
Still the towers counting
While the hungry wait unseen
If mercy still means anything
If love is more than sound
Then let the world remember itself
When we go three days down
Three days down
Let the whole world hear it
Three days down
Let the silence rise
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the world stand still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
Ohhh
Let the strings cry out
Let the heart remember
Let the silence shout
Rise, rise
From the dust and the stone
Rise, rise
No child stands alone
God, Allah, Creator
Hear the quiet cry
Creation itself would tremble
At what we walk beside
Not with vengeance
Not with flame
Not with hatred
Not with shame
By the hand that feeds
By the heart that sees
By the world that stops
For the child who pleads
No money
No funds
No violence
Just one world
No silence
No turning
No forgetting
Three days down
Three days down
Let the whole world hear it
Three days down
Let the silence rise
No hate, no harm
Just the people's will
Seventy-two hours
Let the world stand still
Let the children eat
Let the water flow
Let the roads open wide
Let the whole world know
Three days down
One world, one sound
When the people stand together
No power holds us down
Let them eat
Let them drink
Let them live
Let them breathe
Let Palestine live
Let the children live
Let humanity live

I had a home in Palestine
A daughter five, a son of eight
She held my hand through market light
He laughed and ran ahead too late
Their mother saved the warmest bread
And smiled beside the door
I thought God made the world for children
I do not think that anymore
Fire took my son from me
A flash, a wall, a cry
I found his drawings in the ashes
But not the boy who made them fly
Hunger took my daughter slowly
Breath by breath, bone by bone
Her mother kissed her fading face
And begged, "Do not go"
No little hands to hold
No bedtime voice, no home
Only names inside my mouth
Like stones I carry alone
May no father know this silence
May no mother die this slow
If my grief can cross the sea
Let one human heart still know
Tonight I kiss my wife
For the last time on her head
She sleeps the way our daughter slept
Too tired to fight for breath
Her eyes still search the doorway
For children coming late
I hold one drop of water
And know it came too late
No little hands to hold
No bedtime voice, no home
Only names inside my mouth
Like stones I carry alone
If the world still has a heartbeat
If mercy has not turned to stone
Let Palestine's children live
Before they join my own
Let Palestine breathe
Let the children live
Let the children live
Let humanity live

I ran from the body,
I lived in my head.
Carried old weather,
And words left unsaid.
I called fear wisdom,
I called hiding peace.
But the soul kept watching,
Waiting underneath.
Bring me back to the river,
Bring me back to the road.
Where the wound can speak softly,
But not carry the throne.
Bring me back to the morning,
To the breath, to the bone.
Love is not far beyond me,
Love is the way home.
I looked for the holy
Above dust and skin.
But the stars kept shining
Through the world I was in.
The Creator was calling
Through grief and through light,
Not asking for terror,
But a heart made right.
Bring me back to the river,
Bring me back to the road.
Where the wound can speak softly,
But not carry the throne.
Bring me back to the morning,
To the breath, to the bone.
Love is not far beyond me,
Love is the way home.
If I forget, let mercy find me.
If I fall, let truth be kind.
If I fear the final crossing,
Let love open what fear made blind.
Bring me back to the body,
Bring me back to the soul.
To the ordinary sacred,
Where the broken becomes whole.
Bring me back to the morning,
To the breath, to the bone.
Not beyond the return now-
Love is the way home.
The river keeps moving.
The soul still knows.
The road becomes holy
When the heart comes home.

Before the towers, before the wall,
Long before the empires rose and fall,
Canaan's breath, in ancient clay,
Tells the tale of those who stayed.
From Jericho's bones to Gaza's shore,
The roots run deep through blood and lore.
They never left-just lived and grew-
In olive light, beneath skies of blue.
Twice the land was taken,
Twice the cries were heard.
Once by cross and sword,
Once by war and word.
Yet still the fig tree stands
Beneath the siege and flame.
Palestine remains-
Though they erase the name.
In 1099 they came with crown,
Jerusalem was struck down.
The ones who walked those hills before
Saw mosque to church,
Then blood on floor.
The city changed,
The banners flew,
But the ancient earth
Still knew what's true.
Then came papers, seals, and lines,
Promises drawn over ancient vines.
Balfour's words,
Mandate hands,
Foreign maps
On living lands.
Partition came,
Then forty-eight-
Nakba opened
The exile gate.
Villages vanished
Off the maps,
Keys held tight
In exiles' laps.
History didn't start anew.
A land had people-
That's still true.
Twice the land was taken,
Twice the cries were heard.
Once by cross and sword,
Once by war and word.
Yet still the fig tree stands
Beneath the siege and flame.
Palestine remains-
Though they erase the name.
In sixty-seven,
The shadow grew,
Walls and checkpoints
Split life in two.
Settlements climbed
Where homes had grown,
Taking the hills
Stone by stone.
Permits, towers,
Gates, and wire,
Turned daily bread
To daily fire.
Refugee camps
Still hold the key,
Waiting on
The right to be.
White phosphorus in Gaza skies.
Ambulances hit,
No reason why.
Blockades tight,
The water foul.
Homes reduced
By drone and howl.
Children counted,
Then forgotten.
U N lines ignored,
Laws trodden.
B'Tselem writes,
And others see-
Apartheid is not hyperbole.
This isn't hate,
It's history's song.
The facts remain
When spins are gone.
You can't erase
What memory knows-
The farmers where
The cactus grows.
The olive groves
Still bleed the past,
But hope, like trees,
Can grow and last.
Courts may speak,
And papers say
Occupation cannot stay.
But ink is weak
When bombs still fall,
When grief keeps knocking
Door to wall.
Not hate,
Not vengeance,
Not a call
For other mothers' sons to fall.
Just one clear wound
The world must see:
A people asking
To be free.
Twice the land was taken,
Twice the cries were heard.
But justice echoes louder
Than a conquering word.
One day the fig
Will fruit again,
And children write
Their claim:
Palestine endures-
No one can kill
That name.
No wall can bury
A mother's prayer.
No fire can silence
The olive flame.
Palestine endures-
Remember the name.
