There once was
An old Palestinian man
Who wanted his freedom  
And he longed to wild and free but he's in chains for the whole world to see
And he never danced or
He never sang in
Shackles of oppression's hold and
No future or a story to be
Told and he's living his life
With worries and dread
Embracing hope
Or a brighter day
A promise of a life unbound
Freedom's song
Forever resound.

Little children crying tonight
And so innocent and pure
Fading away like wilting flowers
Palestinian children dying and
Palestinian children's dreams
And wishes left unfulfilled
No love no hugs not even food
And time slips away sadness all day
A life cut short by the devil's cruel hands
Leaving hearts broken and dreams
Shattered

And sorrow and pain
And no love shining in the light
It's cold and dark in Palestine every night
Leaving behind memories that will never fade away screaming
Children in the night
The whole world laughing and siding
With the devil in life

So little Palestinian children rest in peace
In your graves in eternal peace
May the angels watch over you all
Your set free and
Your spirits will live on forever
Beating inside David P Carroll's
Heart all day long.
