Bullets fly and children cry
In the streets of Gaza town
Homes lie broken, dreams unspoken
As missiles rain their fire down
---
Mothers weeping, watchers keeping
Sleepless vigil through the night
Clenched fists rise to smoke-filled skies
Seeking peace with all their might
---
Darkness falls on Gaza's walls
As the wounded moan their pain
Politicians dodge, help is slow to lodge
And violence blooms again
---
People pray for a brighter day
When hate and fear are overcome
When children play and peace will stay
The nightmare conflict done
---
For now tears of sorrow damp Gaza's dust
Her people yearn for the right to just live
Pray their cries may yet find the ears of the wise
And the gift of peace again they'll receive.
