This is for our brother Omar Khader...

It's been a heavy road to travel

Caged like an animal for defending your right to your own survival

Persecuted for throwing back the very weapon aimed to destroy 

A man of 15 years old, you held down beyond the capacity of a young boy

They've kept you for a decade and just can't seem to let go

Guess they were hoping to break your spirit but you're still standing - that's the call of a hero

What's the fear of a man that simply defends himself?

Except that they can't comprehend the mind that fears nothing in this life

I can't claim to even know how it feels, but I admire the strength for I see innocence that we were not made to see

A message to the masses that choose to hate...

You're looking in the wrong direction, your enemy isn't the young man that's locked down in wait

No, the enemy isn't the child covered in debris throwing back the weapon of a terrorist trying to destroy his family

The enemy is the hand that feeds you,takes your sons, husbands, fathers and brothers and tells them to defend their territory

Defend the land, give this life up and kill those that have barely enough food to live

It's obvious most don't take a second to think.. 

Sit down and put yourself in the same place as him

This is for the man who's physical being was lowered and disgraced

But his mental state has been enhanced and firmly placed

May he be honored before the Most High, and elevated in rank

Allah alone do we need, He alone do we ask,  to Him alone we bow and to Him we thank
