Cry for the children of Gaza
The blue skies rain terror on you
There is no refuge
nowhere to run to
Your parents slaughtered
right there beside you

Cry for the mothers of Gaza
We hope you’ll someday forgive us
for our tax dollars
sending the missiles
that kill your children
and burn your cities

Cry for the fathers of Gaza,
defending your ancient homelands
Your homes demolished,
your children starving
And still you struggle
to keep your birthright

One day the world will awaken
and call for your liberation
Justice for those who
gain from your suffering
You’ll live and flourish
in your free nation
