I want to tell the world   ******************************** I want to tell the world A story     About a home With a broken lantern     And a burnt doll    About a picnic That wasn't enjoyed         About an axe That killed a tulip       A story about a fire That consumed a plait   a story about a tear that couldn't run down       I want to tell a story About a goat That wasn't milked   About a mother's dough That wasn't baked       About a wedding That wasn't celebrated   And a baby girl that didn't grow up         About a football That wasn't kicked About a dove That didn't fly   I want to tell a story About a key That wasn't used   About a classroom That wasn't attended         About a playground That was silenced About a book That wasn't read About a besieged lonely farm And about its fruits That weren't picked   About a lie that wasn't discovered       A story about a church That's no longer prayed in And a mosque That no longer stands And a culture No longer rejoiced I want to tell a story About a muddy grassy roof     About a stone That faced a tank     And about a stubborn flag That refuses to lie down         About a spirit that cannot be defeated         I want to tell the world A story Now Light a little candle for Palestine You can do it Light a candle One little candle Watch the darkness fade away Just try it out One ray of light Wipes away the gloomiest Jet-black nights As the dawn breaks Just observe Can you see that All the might of darkness In the world Cannot extinguish The faintest flicker Of a beam of light Light a candle One little candle Watch the darkness fade away You can do it   Hey.. WORLD Did you hear me?
