I want to tell the world
A story About a home With a broken lantern
And a burnt doll About a picnic That wasn't enjoyed About an axe That killed a tulip A story about a fire That consumed a plait a story about a tear that couldn't run down I want to tell a story About a goat That wasn't milked About a mother's dough That wasn't baked About a wedding That wasn't celebrated
And a baby girl that didn't grow up About a football That wasn't kicked
 </ SPAN> About a dove That didn't fly I want to tell a story About a key That wasn't used About a classroom That wasn't attended About a playground That was silenced =0 A About a book That wasn't read About a besieged lonely farm And about its fruits That weren't picked About a lie that wasn't discovered A story about a church That's no longer prayed in And a mosque That no longer stands And a culture No longer rejoiced
I want to tell a story About a muddy grassy roof
About a stone That faced a tank And about a stubborn flag That refuses to lie down About a spirit that cannot be defeated I want to tell the world A story Now Light a little candle for Palestine
You can do it
Light a candle One little candle
Watch the darkness fade away
Just try it out
One ray of light
Wipes away the gloomiest
Jet-black nights
As the dawn breaks
Just observe
Can you see that
All the might of darkness
In the world
Cannot extinguish
The faintest flicker
Of a beam of light
Light a candle
One little candle
Watch the darkness
fade away
You can do it Hey.. WORLD Did you hear me? |
