i want to tell the world a story
TRANSCRIPT
I want to tell the world
I want to tell the world
A story
About a home With a broken lantern
And a burnt doll
About a picnic That wasn't enjoyed
About an axe That killed a tulip
A story about a fire That consumed a plait
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 picke
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 lightWipes away the gloomiest
Jet-black nightsAs the dawn breaks
Just observe
Can you see thatAll the might of darkness
In the worldCannot extinguishThe faintest flickerOf a beam of light
Light a candleOne little candle
Watch the darkness fade away
You can do it
Hey.. WORLDDid you hear me?
