Jenin’s Song by Belly

[Verse]
Now here's a story 'bout a girl named Jenin
The girl of my dreams, divine genes
Eyes gleam like sunlight beams
I'd wait forever, but that's how long one night seems
'Til we together, the moments just become like scenes
Between the pressure of lettin' pain blow up like steam
Just say whoever, I do it for my holiest treasure
I'm writin' letters, but I can't address the family address
I been searchin', heard she workin' at a bank in the West
She's never free, to me, it's like they got her chained by the neck
I only worry 'cause her neighbor is the angel of death
But often times, I'm reminded she was God's design
She never faltered when the vultures tried to multiply
She is heaven personified, unmodified
That's why they falsify the truth about her all the time
I tried to see her, but I got denied
'Cause every time I tried to visit, she was occupied

[Bridge]
96 Miles from Bethlehem
I would die just to see you again
Wake me up when forever ends
I can dream when I see you

[Outro]
Jenin, my love
Jenin, my love
Jenin, my love
I need your love
Jenin, my love
