Carol of the Rebellion

The third and final song that I wrote for the project. It is sung to the tune of "Carol of the Bells"...



1948,
Arabs meet their fate.
Palestinian's hate,
Israelis set them straight.

'67 War,
Arabs hit the floor.
Land the Israeli's score,
three times as much as before.

With terrorism, intifadahs, Fatah vs. Hamas, all hope seems lost.
Can't win a war, with Palestine divided, what would it cost, who is the boss?

Refugees kicked out of their homes.
Just simply left free to roam.
Can't visit the rock under the dome.
Overtaken by those who say "Shalom".

What is our crime,
Mother Palestine?
Now is the time,
together we shall climb
the heights of the sublime.
