I’ve been a descendent of the lands that they take 
And it’s not just about the violence they wake 
When they slaughter before them
There will be more of them 
And it’s not about blood or race
Religion or the colour of your face
It is inherent in the human condition
To go in search of ammunition 
When you feel that you are not enough
And the lack of love
Drops bombs or sets guns to fire
I found some place higher 
And in that state 
There is no earthquake 
To shake the buildings that we construct
And you could say that the world is fucked 
But there is something to deliver
There is but a sliver
Of hope in the hearts of many
Who will hold out peace when there isn’t any
To salve the wound that the rubble breaks
Can we do it for their sakes
Ask for artillery to be quiet
And the people start a riot
When they sense the disturb
And if love really is a verb
Then it is something which we must serve
And I watch the sea of Palestine
Beat the shore that used to be mine
And try to gain a reception
In the minds of those who without exception
Seek to destroy
Is it not about the little boy
Who shakes in the hospital ward
All alone and untoward
And we have been conditioned to fear
Those who are not near
With a different creed
But when I see the people bleed
Something stirs within my soul 
And the waves cannot but roll 
Unto the valley in the shadow of death
They justify but I cannot forget 
What my ancestors felt when they were starved
And the population more than halved
As the gravestone where they’ll bury me
Bears the names of those who were not free
To feed the family they grew 
And they used bodies and bones to populate the few
With trinkets of the masses
And they separate into classes 
What is only every one 
And the Son
Of God was born in a manger 
Now those same children are in danger 
Of being extincted by the war planes
And no one even knows their names 
As they lie in a white bag 
Their remains a reminder of the flag
We should be waving
Because each person is worth saving 
And no one is beyond humane
Compassion for family is always the same 
And we are one people, on civilisation
So if you can be the equation
That balances this uneven spirit level 
And we may have a taste of Heaven 
While still on this earth
We were not born to hurt
But to bear witness to the glory of the Supreme
And just because the dream 
Is a nightmare
Doesn’t mean it should scare
You from doing what’s right
If it’s dark, be the candlelight
