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

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

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
