What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When I was young it all seemed like a game
2
Living here brought no sense of shame
3
But now I'm older I've come to understand
4
Once we had houses
5
Once we had land
6
They rained down bullets on us as our homes collapsed
7
We lay beneath the rubble terrified
8
Hoping.. Dare we dream?
9
We gave up waiting
10
For us, to dream is still a dream
11
When I woke up, the house was broken stones
12
We suddenly had nothing
13
And nothing's changed
14
We live, eight people, in this overcrowded heat
15
Factory-farmed animals living in our own sweat
16
Living like this is all my baby brother ever knew
17
The world does nothing. What can we do?
18
We will kick the ball
19
We will skip the rope
20
We will play outside. Be careful
21
We will paint and draw. We will say our prayers
22
Outside the pitiless sun bleaches the broken streets
23
The darkness drops in the evening like an iron door
24
The men play cards under torchlight
25
The women stay inside
26
Hell can erupt in a moment day or night
27
You ask for trouble if you stray too close to the wall
28
My father died ..feeding the birds
29
Mum goes in front of me to check for soldiers
30
For every hot-head stone ten come back
31
For every hot-head stone a hundred come back
32
For every rocket fired the drones come back
33
For thirteen years the roads have all been closed
34
We're isolated. We're denied medical supplies
35
Fuel and work are scarce. They build houses on our farms
36
The old men weep. The young men take up arms.
37
We're packed like chickens in this town of block cement
38
I get headache from the diesel. When it rains, the sewers too
39
I had no idea what martyrdom meant
40
Until my older brother.. my older brother
41
I'm sorry. I can't continue.
42
You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind, it is said
43
When people know they have no future
44
Can we blame them if we cannot tame them?
45
And when their hopes and dreams are broken
46
And they feel they might as well be dead
47
As they go, will we forgive them
48
If they take us with them?
49
Stay close
50
Stay home
51
Stay calm
52
Have faith
53
With the love of our family we can rise above anything
54
Someday surely someone must help us
55
With the love of our family we can rise above anything
56
Someday surely someone must help us
57
Even now we will go to school
58
Even now we will dream to dream
59
Someday surely someone must help us
60
Nothing's ever simple - that's for sure
61
There are grieving mothers on both sides of the wire
62
And everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
63
But any way you look at it - whichever point of view
64
For us to have to live like this
65
It just aint right
66
It just aint right
67
It just aint right
68
We all want peace and freedom that's for sure
69
But peace won't come from standing on our necks
70
Everyone deserves a chance to feel the future just might be bright
71
But any way you look at this - whichever point of view
72
For us to have to live like this
73
It just aint right
74
It just aint right
75
It just aint right
76
It's like a nightmare rose up slouching towards Bethlehem
77
Like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
78
Slouching towards Bethlehem
79
It's like a nightmare rose up from this small strip of land
80
Slouching towards Bethlehem
81
Stay close
82
Stay home
83
Have faith
84
I can't know what twist of history did this to me
85
It's like a nightmare
86
With the love of our family
87
We can rise above anything
88
Some day surely someone must help us...
