Ali, Ali, Outs In Free
​for Ali, Gaza


Olly olly oxen free!
Steal your flag and find your tree,
Olive branch and olive leaf,
Pungent fruit and bitter tea.
Ali, Ali, outs in free!
 
Olly olly oxen free!
Call them all and call them in,
Brother, sister, distant kin.
Hearts left out, now hearts come in.   
Ali, Ali, outs in free!
 
Olly olly oxen free!
All who stay and all who roam,
Journey to your golden dome.
Raise the colors now, you’re home.
Ali, Ali, outs in free!
