CHORUS Hala, Hala, Ms. Hala says
Find out what you want and do it
You can choose the way you live
It doesn’t matter where you are from
Find out why you’re here
Hala, Hala, Ms. Hala says
We all need to learn from each other
We have to be a little bit of everything
We can all do it
My dream is for you
I am American and Syrian
A little French and Spanish, too
I hope we all get to be this way
This dream is for you
My father is my best friend and my hero
He helped me all my life
His leg was amputated below the knee
I love helping him, like he helped me
Hala, Ms. Hala
I’ve had many jobs, studied medicine in Egypt
Worked my family business in textiles
I started my own company making baby clothes
Hey! That’s my working life!
Hala, Ms. Hala
Everyone in America celebrates my birthday
Same as Dr. Martin Luther King
Empowering Refugees is my organization
We help families with so many things
TAG: Hala, We love you Ms. Hala, Ms. Hala
