Greetings from the Palestine National Section, Jehan Helou

I’m Your Child
by Israa Thiab

I want to live,
I want to love
If you let me dear sir
I want to play,
I want to learn 
Look at me, I know you care
Look at me…
For I’m flesh as much as you are
for I have a heart… I laugh… I cry
Look at me dear sir, look into my eyes
I dare you
and tell me how I deserve to die
I’m not a chess piece, I’m a child
I’m not a number, I’m a child
I’m not a lab rat, I’m a child
Look at me dear sir … I’m YOUR child
