Mother held back her tears as she said goodbye She must be so proud of me It's not everyday your son, proves he's not afraid to die I washed my hands and packed my clothes The brightest whites from head to toe Hopped on a bus that left Amman For the most important hajj I'd ever been on Lets go down to the West Bank Lets go we'll have our fun Lets go down to the West Bank Lets go tell everyone She must be so proud of me I had everything in place I had my objectives in mind I had planned so carefully Reasons not to be here well I heard them all But none of them could change my mind It's drastic measures for drastic times The bus I rode through Jerusalem Was the shortest hajj I've ever been on Lets go down to the West Bank Lets go we'll have our fun Lets go down to the West Bank Lets go tell everyone We're going down and you know we're going down She must be so proud of me now
