Survive This Night
I wade through the steady stream of tears
grown from a small puddle over the years
Suffering for the will of others who do wrong
Struggling the oppressive line you walk along
To find your home, your world, is torn apart.
You pray to god, you bleed from your heart.
So much anguish, so much pain.
To watch the innocent die in vain.
What are the true reasons so many must die?
What if everything we’ve heard has been a lie?
God give me the truth, show us all the way.
Where peace and salvation can rule the day.
Give me no excuses, give me no qualms.
Just give me peace and let us move on.
“Fighting is in their blood.” It is a lie.
Suffering brings horror, horror induces strife.
We must spare more than a moment’s glance.
We must take more time to get the facts.
Let compassion and love rule your life.
Take your stand before the whole world dies.
So will you die in this fight?
So will you survive this night?
I hear your silent cries.
Palestine…
