lyrics

In the Kibbutz they killed our brother
We’ll never hear his laugh again
They’ll never lean up his shoulder
Three fatherless children

Don’t use our death and pain
To bring death and pain to families
Anywhere

The told us to go south we went south
Looking for water we left the house
Bombs fell on us in the south
Fear in our eyes, dirt in our mouths

Paint her name on my daughters arm
Waiting, we know the bombs are gonna come
I’m a parent who can’t protect my child
But they’ll know her name when they find us in a pile

These deaths were not caused by a flood
Injuries not caused by a hurricane
The cause was choices people made
And we don’t need to make those choices again

Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Again
Amen
