We Are Every Home - George Azzi (acoustic lyric video)

Music is an inadequate balm for my crushing helplessness in the face of genocide, injustice and war. But it's something. This song was inspired by my grandmother’s story. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon. She was born in Haifa, in historic Palestine. She was part of the generation of Palestinians displaced in 1948 during the Nakba. She was told to leave her belongings behind, that she could return in a few weeks once the violence subsided, but she was never allowed to return home. Sadly, pieces of her story still echo to this day. As of this writing, according to Doctors Without Borders, more than 90% of homes have been damaged or destroyed in Gaza, and more than a million people were at one point displaced in Lebanon, due to relentless Israeli offensives on civilian neighborhoods. Forced displacement of this kind is never truly temporary. It is a severance of generational roots, a lasting wound carried in the hearts of those who endure, as they attempt to rebuild a sense of safety, identity and hope, often in places they do not know or recognize. I called this song "We Are Every Home" because my teta’s story is not hers alone. May it resonate as a tribute to every person who has ever been uprooted from their home and forced to forge a new sense of belonging, particularly the still displaced and ever-resilient people of Palestine and Lebanon.
