I want to tell the world a story....

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 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?
