about

This song is a small offering and meditation on the ongoing occupation and genocide in Palestine. It comes from a collective feeling that many people don't have the words or the freedom to voice. As artists we are called to offer hope in the face of oppressions and despair. We know a better world is possible, and so we sing Palestine Will Be Free to call that better world into existence. We sing, and meanwhile bombs are falling on Gaza, settlements are expanding in the West Bank, and the United States is funding a genocide against Palestinian people being carried out by the settler state of Israel. Let us sing and let us fight. Let empires everywhere crumble to dust. Free Palestine forever, land back everywhere!

Wayfairy started with a banjo on the turnpike and has grown into a six piece music project that fills the sonic space between mournful folk and riotous punk. We are honored to be joined by Ezra Teshome, the lead vocalist for Canterbury Bells, who contributed their beautiful vocal harmonies and energy to bring this song to life. The track was generously recorded, mixed, and mastered by the inimitable Tennessee Mowrey.

lyrics

Thousands shut down the subway today
Bravely singing not in our name
Stop the wheels from grinding their
Bones to make your bread

Drop of water, grain of sand
There’s no peace on stolen land
Bombs built where a genocide sleeps
Here in the belly of the beast

Smooth stone in a small clenched fist
Born of centuries, fire, and grit
Hurled against a war machine
As tanks till soil to dust

Pomegranate ripe on the tree
Olive branch, watermelon seed
Mourn the martyrs and fight
Like hell is a place on earth

From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
Barbed wire fence to border wall
Let the empire crumble
Let it fall
