Lyrics by Ehab Lotayef, Music by Maryem Tollar

"Salam Shalom, Shalom Salam
Don't give me maps and border plans
First set me free, untie my hands
Salam Shalom, Shalom Salam

What do we tell an unborn child about the world he grow to find?
Salam Shalom, I'm human too
Shalom Salam, I'm just like you

My hands stretched out await your hands
Not some handouts wrapped in kind words
Salam Shalom, let's talk some more
But while we talk please break my bonds

By that far land we both hold dear, let's take an oath, let's make it clear
There'll be no slaves and masters there"
