You heard of Rachel Coorie?
|
The press won't tell her story
|
Caught between a house and bulldozer
|
She found out that Israel
|
Hates gardens and it will kill
|
Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip.
|
|
Let's pretend that everything will be OK
|
It's not our fault let's look the other way
|
And go to films or dance lessons or baseball
|
games at night
|
and trust elected leaders to choose right
|
|
I hurt for Rachel's father
|
To bury his young daughter
|
And her belief in human goodness
|
He taught her to fight violence
|
Now all that's left is silence
|
And the memory of her dignity
|
Let's pretend...
|
Rachel I hope you find justice or even a
|
Garden where anyone can grow some food in peace
|
No guns, no need to fight. No poor, no black no white,
|
Heaven, you deserve a break from misery
|
