Child of Light
Well you know you’ve been told so many lies
you don’t know what to do with your life
how do you take a bullet when you’ve only got a knife?
and it’s drawing ink right from the page
Well you carve your name in the Tree
of Life write your history despite
the media alchemists, the propaganda priests
your story will survive
Child of Gaza, child of Rwanda, child of Katrina, child of Light
you are braver for being born so that we may open up our eyes
to this stratosphere of lies and fear that keeps us from transcendence
you may never have a family of your own
but you have so many descendents
Phosphorus shells reigning down hell in the pogram of the Arabs
Uranium in the ground you walk on, Gaza and Lebanon, it won’t scare us
We say the words, “Never again,” but how could you be so heartless?
I think there’s something deeper here, this is gonna come back to haunt us
Child of Gaza, child of Rwanda, child of Katrina, child of Light
you are braver for being born so that we may open up our eyes
to this stratosphere of lies and fear that keeps us from transcendence
you may never have a family of your own
but you have so many descendents
Is that you in the Garden?
Is that you under the Tree?
Is that you in the water?
Looking up at me?
Well I’m just gonna go on and say it
You were sacrificed for the way that you pray
And for being born to a family
that didn’t control the state
I know that this is the Kali Yuga
The time of death and change
I just hope that we can wake up
before the whole world goes insane
Child of Gaza, child of Rwanda, child of Katrina, child of Light
you are braver for being born so that we may open up our eyes
to this stratosphere of lies and fear that keeps us from transcendence
you may never have a family of your own
but you have so many descendents
PEACE BE WITH ALL THE INNOCENTS WHO DIE IN GAZA
Namaste
We will not forget you

“you are braver for being born so that we may open up our eyes
to this stratosphere of lies” New meaning to dying for other’s sins.
