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”
