The sun sets low on shattered ground
My footsteps make the only sound
Through streets that used to pulse with life
Now just an echo of the strife
The olive trees look old and sad
Remembering the days we had
I clutch a key, a rusting pride
For the home that I’m denied

And so, I walk alone
Through the dust and the broken stone
While the world outside just sleeps
This promise is the one I keep
My shadow is my only friend
On this long road that will not end
I walk alone, but I stand tall
Waiting for the walls to fall

I pass the ghosts of yesterday
The children who can't come to play
A mother's prayer hangs in the air
A silent burden that I bear
They built their fences high and wide
To break the spirit deep inside
But freedom isn't what they own
It’s in the ancient seeds we've sown

And still, I walk alone
Through the dust and the broken stone
While the world outside just sleeps
This promise is the one I keep
My shadow is my only friend
On this long road that will not end
I walk alone, but I stand tall
Waiting for the walls to fall

They try to tell me I’m not here
They try to deafen me with fear
They take the headlines, twist the truth
But they can't steal my fire, my youth
My voice may be a single one
But I will face the rising sun
I am the story they can't erase
The living soul of this whole place

And if I walk alone
Through the dust and the broken stone
Let the world outside just sleep
This promise is the one I keep
My shadow is my only friend
On this long road, I won't bend
I walk alone, but I stand tall
Waiting for the walls to fall

I walk alone
Oh, I walk alone
But I am marching home
