In one village in the Occupied West Bank after another -- right now in Qusrah -- settlers besiege Palestinian homes until the families inside have the choice of moving or dying.
Every day another village
In the land of Palestine
Becomes the latest village
Where the settlers refine
Their methods of intimidation
To instill loathing and fear
Among anybody
Who might happen to be near
Every day another village
With stories that extend
Centuries past
Forced to try to defend
Their very right to live
In the land of their ancestors
From the state, their soldiers
And their settlers
Just outside the biggest city
In the Occupied West Bank
Terrified children
Wonder why
There are settlers and soldiers
Surrounding their homes
Giving them the choice
To move or die
Every day another village
Attacked in just this way
Besieged by settlers, surrounded
All night and all day
Soldiers come to keep guard
Make sure no one can come to see
So without food or water
Without solidarity
Chorus
Every day another village
Qusra, just one among
With farmland sowed for centuries
Where so many songs were sung
About the olive trees
About the life they so enjoyed
So long before the invasion
Of the Hilltop Boys
Chorus
