His life the sons of Israel celebrated And the sons of Gath cursed
The sons of David wished Him to see the sun shine forever And the sons of Goliath wished His eyes to be blurred as quick as can be
And the tombstone was ready to open For the sons of David to weep And the sons of Goliath to rejoice As both fathers’ feelings always contrasted
The legacy they will keep And claim to be theirs When Israel sang, ”Rest In Peace, Sharon” And Gath sang, “To hell forever, Sharon”
