Insha’allah
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when the dates are on the trees
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it and, Insha'Allah, he brings us peace
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when the fighting finally ceases
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he's wills it and, Insha'Allah we are made free
And peace upon him be
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
How I long to make the trek back home across the arid desert to my son
For now he must be old enough to ride and read and fire the British gun
But will he know his father when he sees in me the things that I have done?
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when from service we're released
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it and when the Turk, he tastes defeat
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
I could help you carry water and to start an honest business we could run
I could worry about the olives as I worked the presses, healthy in the sun
But then who would fight the Ottoman and win the freedom Lawrence says will come?
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when dates are on the trees
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it
Till then our desert ponies leap
And peace upon him be
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it and, Insha'Allah, he brings us peace
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when the fighting finally ceases
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he's wills it and, Insha'Allah we are made free
And peace upon him be
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
How I long to make the trek back home across the arid desert to my son
For now he must be old enough to ride and read and fire the British gun
But will he know his father when he sees in me the things that I have done?
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when from service we're released
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it and when the Turk, he tastes defeat
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
I could help you carry water and to start an honest business we could run
I could worry about the olives as I worked the presses, healthy in the sun
But then who would fight the Ottoman and win the freedom Lawrence says will come?
Insha'Allah, I shall see you when dates are on the trees
Insha'Allah, till then only in my dreams, habibti
I shall see you if he wills it
Till then our desert ponies leap
And peace upon him be
If he wills it, Insha'Allah
