In the trenches

[Jalili]

We site there looking on to the battlefield
Mapping out planning the next move
Fearful of failure yet worry free of death
we see what's need understand out purpose
Know that the fight ahead maybe the last
hear the blast over head but not shaken for our position
Despite the lack of support and being called crazy
Keeping the pressure pressing fighting for real change
Hopeful for the future learning from the past
Putting our lives on the line now
Maybe to be rewarded after we die
With the hopes of the oppressed feeding our strength
Living off the memory of the ancestors
Taking the blessings of those that believe in the mission
We survive off liberations love here in the trenches
