kiss my wounds

There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
Rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah

My blood mixes with the dirt, ah
I smile despite the overwhelming hurt
Lay me down and kiss my wounds
Beneath the waters of the same moon
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah)

How many angels have to die for you to cry?
Under that Gazan sky, there is no hope for mercy
How many fathers cry themselves to sleep at night
Closing their daughter's eyes, kissing one last goodbye

If only I could change the rules of space and time
I would bend the light of day until freedom shines
Like seeds my people rise, firm as the olive root
We will survive and when this storm is through

There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah

When I look in my grandmother's eyes, I see a life of poems and pain
Part of her soul never got on that boat and the rest of her spirit remains
In her hometown by the riverside, near the ripple tide of the sea
'Cause her body lives in America but her heart is in Palestine

Where millions of children are living in tents
Trying to survive in the hellfire but the bombing is way too intense
I've seen dead bodies in shopping bags, so America can make cents
I can't believe this evil but when the rains over like a rainbow
Love will reign over my people

Why don't you just
Lay me down and kiss my wounds, oh
Lay me down and kiss my wounds

There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
There will be rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah

So why don't you just
Lay me down and kiss my wounds, oh
Lay me down and kiss my wounds

I see rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
I see rainbows out in Gaza
From the mountains to Ramallah
