Look at your child for a moment If you have one, look again If not, see your brother's face Your sister, your mother, your friend And if you stand alone tonight Then meet the mirror with your eyes Now place that face in Palestine Under hunger, dust, and skies We read of wars from long ago And curse the cruelty of men We say, "How did the world stand by?" Then watch it happen again Children starve in Palestine While speeches dress the shame A genocide before our eyes And power still debates the name Say the name Palestine has a name If that was yours beneath the rubble If that was yours without a bed Would heaven and earth be too much to move To keep the living from the dead? Three days down Seventy-two hours still No war, no hate, no blood to spill Just the people's will Stay home for Palestine Let the silence cross the sea One world, one wound, one cry Let the children eat We are not asking for your money We are not asking you to fight We ask for three days with your loved ones In the name of human life Sit beside the ones you cherish Hold them close and understand Somewhere a parent holds the dust Where once there was a little hand Stock your water, plan your bread Speak to work, your street, your town A peaceful pause, a lawful stand Let the profit engines down Not the healers Keep them moving Not the water Keep it flowing Not the food lines Keep them open Not the children Keep them warm Keep doctors with the wounded Keep firemen on the road Keep medicine, bread, and clean water Keep mercy carrying the load But stop the towers counting money Stop the markets, stop the mines Stop the offices of profit That feed on ordinary time Every kingdom needs the worker Every port, every bank, every wheel When common hands become one silence Even kings are made to feel Made to feel Made to hear From Africa, let the drums remember From the Arab winds, let the strings cry out From Europe, let the bells bear witness From Asia, let the river voices sound From islands, fields, and crowded cities From every worker, every home Let the world become one body And no child stand alone This is not against a people This is not revenge or flame This is mercy for the starving This is justice with a name Palestine Palestine One month Open the roads Let food pass through Let water flow Not to armies Not to weapons To the children To the families To the sick To the hungry To those with nowhere left to go One month For bread, water, refuge, and medicine One month To end the starvation and open the way And if the powerful still refuse If the hungry are still buried in the news Then the tools go down again Two weeks at a time Peaceful, lawful, side by side Until Palestine can breathe Until they breathe Until they live Three days down Seventy-two hours still No war, no hate, no blood to spill Just the people's will Stay home for Palestine Let the silence cross the sea One world, one wound, one cry Let the children eat Power is not only in palaces Power is not only in gold Power is every hand that labours Every heart that won't be sold We are not helpless watchers We are not shadows by the throne If our hands can build the world Our hands can call it home Let them eat Let them drink Let them live Let them breathe Look at your child for a moment Look in the mirror if you must No loved one should be starving While silence calls itself just Three days down Then one month to move Bread, water, refuge, medicine Let Palestine live Let Palestine live Let the children live Let humanity live

Look at your child for a moment If you have one, look again If not, see your brother's face Your sister, your mother, your friend Look in the mirror tonight Hold that gaze and stay Now place that face in Palestine Where the little ones fade away We read of wars from long ago And curse the cruelty of men We ask how the world stood by Then watch it happen again Children starve in Palestine While power debates the name A wound is open to the sky And silence dresses shame If that was yours beneath the dust If that was yours without a bed Would heaven and earth be too much to move To keep the living from the dead? Three days down Seventy-two hours still No war, no hate No blood to spill Just the people's will Stay home for Palestine Let the silence cross the sea One world, one wound, one cry Let the children eat We do not ask you now for money We do not ask you now to fight We ask three days with those you love In the name of human life Plan your water, plan your bread Speak to work, your street, your town A peaceful pause, a lawful stand Let the profit engines down Not the healers Keep them moving Not the water Keep it flowing Keep the doctors Keep medicine Keep the children Safe and warm From every worker, every home Let the world become one body From every city, every shore Let no child stand alone This is not revenge or fire This is mercy for the starving Bread and water, roads made open Let Palestine keep breathing Three days down Seventy-two hours still No war, no hate No blood to spill Just the people's will Stay home for Palestine Let the silence cross the sea One world, one wound, one cry Let the children eat Let them eat Let them drink Let them live Let them breathe Let Palestine live Let the children live Let humanity live

Yeah Three days down No money, no funds Just the people Just the world Listen Look at your kid for a second, then look again Look at your brother, your mother, your closest friend Now put that face where the cameras don't stay Where the bread runs thin and the skies turn gray I ain't here for a headline, I'm here for the heart For the ones still breathing while the world falls apart We scroll past pain like it's not our own Then wonder why mercy feels cold as stone Tell me, what would you move if that child was yours? Would you knock down silence? Would you open doors? Would you call your street, your job, your town? Would you stand with the world when it's Three Days Down? This ain't rage for the sake of noise This is one world finding its voice No hate in the message, no harm in the sound Just ordinary people saying: three days down If one small life can ask the sky Why nobody heard the sound Then every heart that still can feel Has got to stand up now Three days down Let the whole world feel it Three days down Let the silence reveal it No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the whole world still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down They said you're just one person, what can you do? But one becomes a million when the message breaks through Then ten becomes fifty, then a hundred more Then the whole world's knocking on the same closed door No donation box, no political game No chasing clout, no selling pain Just pledge with your name, let conscience speak Let the strong stand up for the hungry and weak Keep the doctors moving, keep the water clean Keep the care hands working where the need is seen Keep the medicine running, keep the mercy near But pause the profit machine till the message is clear Every worker, every parent, every student, every street Every hand that builds the world can slow the world's heartbeat Not to break it, not to burn it, not to tear it down But to say we see the suffering, and it stops now If love is more than words we say If mercy still has ground Then let the world remember itself When we go three days down Three days down Let the whole world feel it Three days down Let the silence reveal it No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the whole world still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down This is for the cup with nothing inside For the parent who prayed and the child who cried For the names that the world never learned to say For the lives we refuse to let fade away God, Allah, Creator, hear the sound Of a world waking up when it kneels to the ground Not in hatred, not in fear But with mercy loud enough for every throne to hear So mark the date when the voices arrive One hundred fifty million saying mercy survives No money, no funds, no violence, no flame Just the world standing still in the children's name Call your people, call your city, call your street Put the pledge in your hands, put the truth on repeat If the world feels powerless, let the world be found One people, one promise, three days down Three days down Let the whole world feel it Three days down Let the silence reveal it No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the whole world still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down No money No funds Only your voice Only your commitment Only your stand Three days down Pledge now

Look at your child for a moment Look again Now place that face in Palestine And tell me what remains Small hands in the dust Eyes lifted to the sky A cup without water A question asking why We read the old stories And swear we would have stood Then turn from the living And call our silence good Every child had a morning Every home had a flame Every face was somebody Every soul had a name If that was yours beneath the dust Would your heart stay still? Would heaven be too far to move Or would you find the will? Three days down Let the whole world hear it Three days down Let the silence rise No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the world stand still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down We do not ask for money We do not ask for fame We ask the world for conscience We ask you to say their name Plan your water Plan your bread Speak to work Your street, your town A peaceful pause A lawful stand Let the profit engines down Keep the healers moving Keep the mercy near Keep the medicine flowing Keep the lifelines clear But still the empty offices Still the buying machines Still the towers counting While the hungry wait unseen If mercy still means anything If love is more than sound Then let the world remember itself When we go three days down Three days down Let the whole world hear it Three days down Let the silence rise No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the world stand still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down Ohhh Let the strings cry out Let the heart remember Let the silence shout Rise, rise From the dust and the stone Rise, rise No child stands alone God, Allah, Creator Hear the quiet cry Creation itself would tremble At what we walk beside Not with vengeance Not with flame Not with hatred Not with shame By the hand that feeds By the heart that sees By the world that stops For the child who pleads No money No funds No violence Just one world No silence No turning No forgetting Three days down Three days down Let the whole world hear it Three days down Let the silence rise No hate, no harm Just the people's will Seventy-two hours Let the world stand still Let the children eat Let the water flow Let the roads open wide Let the whole world know Three days down One world, one sound When the people stand together No power holds us down Let them eat Let them drink Let them live Let them breathe Let Palestine live Let the children live Let humanity live

No Little Hands to Hold
A lament for Palestinian parents, children and families lost to war.
Read lyrics
I had a home in Palestine A daughter five, a son of eight She held my hand through market light He laughed and ran ahead too late Their mother saved the warmest bread And smiled beside the door I thought God made the world for children I do not think that anymore Fire took my son from me A flash, a wall, a cry I found his drawings in the ashes But not the boy who made them fly Hunger took my daughter slowly Breath by breath, bone by bone Her mother kissed her fading face And begged, "Do not go" No little hands to hold No bedtime voice, no home Only names inside my mouth Like stones I carry alone May no father know this silence May no mother die this slow If my grief can cross the sea Let one human heart still know Tonight I kiss my wife For the last time on her head She sleeps the way our daughter slept Too tired to fight for breath Her eyes still search the doorway For children coming late I hold one drop of water And know it came too late No little hands to hold No bedtime voice, no home Only names inside my mouth Like stones I carry alone If the world still has a heartbeat If mercy has not turned to stone Let Palestine's children live Before they join my own Let Palestine breathe Let the children live Let the children live Let humanity live
Love Is the Way Home
A reflective song about grief, mercy and finding a way home through love.
Read lyrics
I ran from the body, I lived in my head. Carried old weather, And words left unsaid. I called fear wisdom, I called hiding peace. But the soul kept watching, Waiting underneath. Bring me back to the river, Bring me back to the road. Where the wound can speak softly, But not carry the throne. Bring me back to the morning, To the breath, to the bone. Love is not far beyond me, Love is the way home. I looked for the holy Above dust and skin. But the stars kept shining Through the world I was in. The Creator was calling Through grief and through light, Not asking for terror, But a heart made right. Bring me back to the river, Bring me back to the road. Where the wound can speak softly, But not carry the throne. Bring me back to the morning, To the breath, to the bone. Love is not far beyond me, Love is the way home. If I forget, let mercy find me. If I fall, let truth be kind. If I fear the final crossing, Let love open what fear made blind. Bring me back to the body, Bring me back to the soul. To the ordinary sacred, Where the broken becomes whole. Bring me back to the morning, To the breath, to the bone. Not beyond the return now- Love is the way home. The river keeps moving. The soul still knows. The road becomes holy When the heart comes home.
Palestine Remembered
A song of remembrance, continuity and hope for the Palestinian people.
Read lyrics
Before the towers, before the wall, Long before the empires rose and fall, Canaan's breath, in ancient clay, Tells the tale of those who stayed. From Jericho's bones to Gaza's shore, The roots run deep through blood and lore. They never left-just lived and grew- In olive light, beneath skies of blue. Twice the land was taken, Twice the cries were heard. Once by cross and sword, Once by war and word. Yet still the fig tree stands Beneath the siege and flame. Palestine remains- Though they erase the name. In 1099 they came with crown, Jerusalem was struck down. The ones who walked those hills before Saw mosque to church, Then blood on floor. The city changed, The banners flew, But the ancient earth Still knew what's true. Then came papers, seals, and lines, Promises drawn over ancient vines. Balfour's words, Mandate hands, Foreign maps On living lands. Partition came, Then forty-eight- Nakba opened The exile gate. Villages vanished Off the maps, Keys held tight In exiles' laps. History didn't start anew. A land had people- That's still true. Twice the land was taken, Twice the cries were heard. Once by cross and sword, Once by war and word. Yet still the fig tree stands Beneath the siege and flame. Palestine remains- Though they erase the name. In sixty-seven, The shadow grew, Walls and checkpoints Split life in two. Settlements climbed Where homes had grown, Taking the hills Stone by stone. Permits, towers, Gates, and wire, Turned daily bread To daily fire. Refugee camps Still hold the key, Waiting on The right to be. White phosphorus in Gaza skies. Ambulances hit, No reason why. Blockades tight, The water foul. Homes reduced By drone and howl. Children counted, Then forgotten. U N lines ignored, Laws trodden. B'Tselem writes, And others see- Apartheid is not hyperbole. This isn't hate, It's history's song. The facts remain When spins are gone. You can't erase What memory knows- The farmers where The cactus grows. The olive groves Still bleed the past, But hope, like trees, Can grow and last. Courts may speak, And papers say Occupation cannot stay. But ink is weak When bombs still fall, When grief keeps knocking Door to wall. Not hate, Not vengeance, Not a call For other mothers' sons to fall. Just one clear wound The world must see: A people asking To be free. Twice the land was taken, Twice the cries were heard. But justice echoes louder Than a conquering word. One day the fig Will fruit again, And children write Their claim: Palestine endures- No one can kill That name. No wall can bury A mother's prayer. No fire can silence The olive flame. Palestine endures- Remember the name.
