Gaza Child1

When my love said to me Meet me down by the Olive Tree For its sad news I bring About this old town and all that it's suffering Some say troubles abound Someday soon they're goanna pull the old town down One day we'll return here When the Gaza Child sings again Brothers, sisters, where are you now? As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God, the Mosque and the Government Some say troubles abound Someday soon they're goanna pull the old town down One day we'll return here When the Gaza Child sings again When the Gaza Child sings again So, come back please, won't you come on home? Come back Aisha, you've been away so long The streets are empty, and your mother's gone The girls are crying, it's been oh so long And your father's calling, come on home Won't you come on home? come on home Come back people, you've been gone a while And the war is raging, through the Gaza Strip That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood All the girls are crying but all's not lost
