..With pain
I think of Gaza
So much pain
I think of Gaza
I think of the children
Machine gunned in gaza
With pain
I think of Gaza
Of the bombings
The bombings of schools and hospitals
Oh Gaza
What cruelty in Gaza
Gaza
So much cruelty
Yesterday children
Children were bombed(again) in Gaza
Bombed in Gaza
Bombed
This is not war
This is cruelty
The pain of gaza
Touches deep into my heart
