kiss my wounds (strings version) Lyrics

There will be rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

Rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

My blood mixes with the dirt

I smile despite the overwhelming hurt

Lay me down and kiss my wounds

Beneath the waters of the same moon

How many angels have to die

For you to cry

Under that Gazan sky

There is no hope for mercy

How many fathers

Cry themselves to sleep at night

Closing their daughter's eyes

Kissing one last goodbye

If only I could change

The rules of space and time

I would bend the light of day

Until freedom shines

Like seeds my people rise

Firm as the olive root

We will survive

And when this storm is through

There will be rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

There will be rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

When I look in my grandmother's eyes

I see a life of poems and pain

Part of her soul never got on that boat

And the rest of her spirit remains

In her hometown by the riverside

Near the ripple tide of the sea

Cause her body lives in America

But her heart is in Falasteen

Where millions of children

Are living in tents

Trying to survive in the hellfire

But the bombing is way too intense

I've seen dead bodies

In shopping bags

So America can make cents

I can't believe this evil

But when the rains over

Like a rainbow

Love will reign over my people

Why don't you just

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

There will be rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

There will be rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

So why don't you just

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

Lay me down

And kiss my wounds

I see rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah

I see rainbows

Out in Gaza

From the mountains

To Ramallah
