I expect that one day
there'll be some left to say,
'this is the Holy Land'
not seeing the trenches
dug in the sand.
Not seeing the river run red or
the dead,
the thread of some biblical tale,the search for the grail is
it all a big fail?
I wonder if Moses came back today would he say.
'this is the holy land'
would he cry out in the wilderness,the wildness of sand
would he give out his hand in friendship and peace
could he make the war cease,
engineer a truce,
is this new truce a ruse and if so what's the use.

Welcome to the Holy land
