Falling in love under the
Moonlight as it shines so bright and
Two hearts beat in perfect harmony
All through the starry night and
With a smile and a glance
They fell deep in romance and
In a world filled with love and pure light.

In the land of Palestine
Where olive trees sway
And little children used to play
And flowers bloom in the light of day
With dreams that unite
They stand for what's right
And Palestine was alive
In the 5th century BCE and
In Palestine bright futures hold sway.

Her life was stolen a brutal end
Justice delayed a slow cruel end
And little Hind Rajab killed and
Her body lay a stark and silent thing
Beneath the weeping willow's gentle sway

And her blood flowing everywhere
As evil fills the air and the
The killer escapes a coward's bend
And on the streets we stop and pray
A life once bright now she rests beneath
The stars every night and
A silent scream a life in vain
****** never ending in Palestine
And it's a terrible shame and
The memories of Hind Rajab
Will never fade away and your
Smile is deep in our hearts every day
And you where so pure and sweet and
Your country Palestine mourns your loss
And hearts that beat now carry heavy chains And we truly miss you Hind Rajab
And every night I light a candle just for you
And for every silent cry that meets the dawn
A question lingers echoing in vain
And Hind Rajab we will forever and always remember you.

In a grave where you stay
Lies a fellow who was killed
Said RIP in a sorrowful way
The flowers all wept
While the mourners all prayed
And the angels flew
Heavenward away.

A flower so small and sweet
Smiling petals soft and neat
A splash of colours so bright and bold
A story to be told and this
Little flower so small and neat
A breath of beauty everywhere.

A spiky hedgehog
Rolled up in a ball
With spikes so sharp
He scurried away
In a hurry today and
In the morning sunlight
He scuttled away to his thrall.

In a land where olive trees swayed
And little children used to play where
Hope bloomed bright in Palestine
Every night and voices echo in the air and
Little Palestinian children everywhere
A story unfolds we're told
Of conflict and strife
No happiness in Palestine tonight and
In Palestine's heart dreams won't fray.

The holocaust in Palestine
And little children just dying
And everyone is crying and
I feel your pain deep in my heart
And families torn apart
Just like petals blown apart and
In bitter winds of fate alone
Palestinian stories etched
In hearts so brave
In memory's light their spirits save

And we will remember the
Dead Palestinians the lost the slain
Their lives extinguished all in vain
And evil walks among us every day
No happiness and peace today and
The nightmare will never be
Over and a hateful creed
Unleashed upon the earth
A history etched in shadows lost to light
And from the ashes may there bloom
Suffering Palestinians just dying for hate
To empathy compassion's grace
To build a future free from hate's embrace
Black and brown people been killed
A world reborn where love will bloom
And banish darkness and hate chase away the gloom.

In Palestinian fields
Where olive trees stand tall
In the morning sunlight and
A whisper calls for freedom's thrall
Freedom for Palestine oh freedom
With hopes like stars in the night sky
I weep for your every day and I
Light a candle for Palestine every night
We dream of peace we long to fly

From the dark shadows
Our voice will echo around the world
For every heart the truth defies
A land of dreams where all are free
Together we can build a sea.

In Somalia where the
Sun shines so bright
And the little children
Have fun in the morning sun
With coastlines that gleam
In the sunlight and
From the hills to the sea
It's a beautiful sight and Somalia
A land wild and free
So beautiful for all to see and
A tapestry woven with delight.

On Independence day everyone
Is from Zimbabwe today and

In the dawn’s embrace we stand tall
And proud and our voices united as
One loving nation and from the our
Struggles and our past we rise with pride
In freedom's light we choose to glide and
Zimbabwe's freedom will echo
Around the world

And Zimbabwe colours are so
Beautiful and bright and they sparkle
In the sky every night and our
Hearts are beating strong
On this very special day and
Zimbabwe the land of hope
And everlasting dreams in
Every soul our independence gleams

And Zimbabwe our nation will forever soar
So raise a glass on Independence day
And let the celebrations flow
For Zimbabwe's freedom will forever glow

And the Zimbabwe flag will
Fly high up in the clear blue sky and
A testament to freedom's gentle breeze
And Zimbabwe is forever inside our heart's

And so let unity's spirit forever
Grow and Zimbabwe
Our country a rising star
And reaching for the sky and beneath
Our nation's flag and forever
And always Zimbabwe
Our spirits will always fly high.

On Sunday we worship
Our Lord Jesus Christ and
With whispers of hope and rebirth
From shadows a light Lord Jesus
Christ rose from the dead
Left the stone for his bed
In glory so bright
I love you with all my
Heart Lord Jesus Christ
A promise of life endless worth.

In Yemen where shadows lay thick
A land with a fate that feels sick
With war and sorrow and pain
Years of war day and night
Homes blown up tonight
And little children get a
Terrible fright bombs all night
The cries of children's pain
A mournful sound and little children's
Silence screams every night
And from American bombs
And American shells from fear and dread
The Yemeni people to find
Their peace among the dead.

A little turtle as
Cute as can be and he
Winked at me and he
Sailed away on a lilly
Pond of bright blue and
With a flip of his tail
He sailed away under the
Sky so blue and he
Slipped neath a leaf unseen
As the lilies danced gently
In the perfect view.

In Yemen where the sun shines bright
And the people are full of love in life
And the markets bustle with pure delight
Hot spices flow through the air
And the warmth of love is everywhere
And Yemen a land filled with
Culture and light.

She worked hard with all of her might
But she got sacked tonight and
Everyone got a terrible fright
With a sigh and a frown
She packed her bags and left town  
And set off to dance through the night.

As the sun dips below the sea
And the colorful rainbow
Dances wild and free and
They paint the clouds
With a golden glow and
The butterflies will flow
And it's a beautiful sight  
And ending our day's delight
In the twilight all is at peace
Tonight.

In Iran where the
Sun shines bright and
Ancient tales dance
Under the stars tonight and
Iranian carpets so bright
A magnificent sight
And the old winding lanes
Is so beautiful and precious and
Iran a land rich in history and light.

In the dark shadows
Where evil whispers
And danger lurks in Iran and
A head of state making threats
But Iranian courage will take flight
And chase away the evil tonight
And no peace will be found and
A shadow falls a threat hangs in the air
Iranian anger grows a burden hard to bear.

There once was a doctor named Lila Abassi
And she was truly dedicated to her work
And she made all her patients feel free and
With a smile on her face and
She worked for a very long time and
Her healing hands a gentle touch so light
And she'd lighten their stare and
Her laughter was pure as could be.

I always thought
Israel was a proxy
State of the United States
I soon realised that the
United States was a
Proxy state of Israel.

On Mother's day you tell her
How much you love her today
With hugs and laughter we hold dear
Mother forever inside my heart
And with this card made with love
Just for you like a blessing from above
To celebrate moms we revere.

A couple happy as can be
In love you and me and
Life's joys were ahead
With love as our guide
Two hearts entwined
A love profound and
Our future is bright
A happy life snuggled in bed.

In the heart of Bethlehem
Peace whispers and hopes abide
Fields of olive, skies of blue
Little children have so much
Fun too and dreams came true

And peace and love flourish
Echoes of happiness in Palestine
A tapestry of past and present
In each tear drop a life a lesson

In 1950's Palestine 86% of Christians
Lived in perfect harmony and
Then a struggle born darkness
Of the night evil rose without sight
Yet amidst the pain our spirit shines
Bright and in Palestine where hope entwines.

Standing back and doing
Nothing makes everyone
Complicit in
A genocide.

In the dark shadows where
Palestinian happiness fades away
A tale of death and sorrow every day
And once beautiful and bright
Now everything is in darkness and
Silent whispers lost in fright
Another Palestinian child killed tonight

Innocence Palestinians slaughtered
Hearts heavy carry the weight of the world
A garden once filled with dreams
So beautiful and bright like the 1900
Where peace and love flowed
Now a scar where hopes abide

It's another dead Palestinian child and

And we'll never let forget use and
The echoes of your childhood
A haunting regret evil and death and
In unity we stand to honor their voice
In love and remembrance and
Everyone around the world
Must stand with everlasting
Peace and love forever Palestine.

Let us pray
For the Palestinians
Who are been murdered
Every day and in the shadows
Where Evil lurks and little
Children cry and a tale of
Dark deeds does inspire
With a heart turned to stone
And a fate overthrown and
The echoes of evil won't tire
Until every Palestinian is dead.

A pink rose in the morning dew
With petals so fresh and so new
And it's smile so bright
Bringing happiness to
All our hearts in life and
A symbol of love and a
Delightful and charming sight.

In my heart it's pure and true
And I softly whisper I love you
And I smile and I glance at you
And our hearts share a dance and
In a dream that feels perfectly true.

You've taken my land
And my home and my freedom
But you'll never take
My Beating heart
Free Palestine.

Holding hands with
You makes my skip a beat and
I found love in the soft morning light
Smiling at you so bright and
Hands held so tight
And true love is in the air tonight
And together will stand and
With you beside me my life is blessed
And my soul finds peace my spirit rest
And forever and always
Your my true love your my guiding star
Forever loved no matter far.

In the land of Palestine where
Evil has taken over and there's
No happiness or hope today but it's
History will forecer stay and in Palestine
The land once holy now scarred and torn and

The sun fades away and little children cry every day **** no happiness peace or love
It's just bombs and ****** and hate
In the heart of a once beautiful country
And my heart bleeds for you and
I even pray every day just for you
Because Palestine I truly love you

No schools no work no education
And no children on the streets
To play it's just blood shed every day
And never ending funerals Gaza
Is just blown away and
Dreaming of peace and love but not
Today and

Under the stars every night
My
****** takes place all through
The night evil evil evil and hate
But Lord Jesus Christ these evil
People don't believe in you and there
Dreams fade away in the darkness of the Night rivers of blood and

In Palestine land so distressed
Occupation's a terrible test

And screaming children dying
Palestine is fading away there
Stealing our land every day and
Our homes blown up today and

In gardens of Palestine in 1939 where dreams came true and happiness did to
And peace and love did flow and the little
Flowers did grow and

Evil lurks its secrets keep
With tempting charms and smiles so sly
It pulls us close yet makes us cry and
The devils deed the sorrow it brings but

Together we'll stand hand in hand in this country called Palestine and
In the heart of the world let our voices resound we are forever and always Palestinian and proud.

Palestinian history will
Never be erased and it's true
My heart beats just for you
And every day I pray for you and
Together we honor the journey
We've made Palestine and
The threads of your
Legacy never will fade.

A conscience
Is a Powerful
Presence.

The illusion of democracy
Wrapped in a shroud of trust
The ballot box a hollow shell
Our promises made so often fell
The illusion of democracy
And rhetoric hatred endless wars and
Votes are bought and freedom dies
The illusion fades the truth takes hold
The illusion reigns a cruel deceit and
Where the wealthy few control the world
Democracy's madness oh so sweet.

In Palestine where rivers flow
And Lord Jesus Christ roamed
And he walked everyehere
Preaching everlasting love
With his gentle hands he healed
The sick and suffering and
In our hearts hope revealed
A light of peace in every glow.

In the Lord Jesus Christ's
Garden of everlasting love and
With his love shining bright
Every day and night and
He taught us to love one another
And walk in his light and
Transforming our sorrows
Into his sweet joy and
Love everlasting and
No pain to destroy.

When
Death
Comes
Knocking
Nobody
Is
Safe.

On world Poetry day
The world takes flight and
Poetry dances from day to night
Under the moonlight and we will
All gather round both young and old
And Poetry and stories from the
Heart are been told

So today we sing and dance and
With hope and joy and the dreams we bring
With pens and pencils in hand
And our voices soar to the sky
Unlocking hearts and every
Poet seeks more and

The whispered breeze in twilight's glow
Carries thoughts where wildflowers grow
Each line a thread each verse a song
In every culture we all belong

So raise a glass to poets might
And let's have fun tonight and let
The verses ring both far and wide
And let words ignite a burning light
And we praise every Poet in life
Especially our hero Robert Burns tonight
And on this day set for poets pride

For in their songs our spirits soar and
World Poetry day forever etched in fame
And every Poet will find there
Voice the truth and the way and
Poetry is the language of souls and  
World Poetry day a treasure to behold.

In the Lord's garden where the
Sunlight shines brighter and two lover's
Hearts beat in perfect harmony
And with a whisper and glance
We embraced love's chance
And with a smile on the
Lord's face a delightful romance and
Our happy life's journey was spent.

She mourned her loss
Day and night and
Her love for him a burning light and
Now buried deep beneath the sod
And gone forever now
He sleeps beloved of God.

In Irish fields of
Green daffodils sway
Gently in the warm sun today
And their petals dance in the
Warm sunlight and with
Trumpets calling forth
The joyful day and a fleeting
Glimpse of spring's enchanting blaze.

Time is a thief and
People are more
Important than
Money and don't repeat
The mistakes of the
Past.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

On Saint Patrick's day
A joyful sound and with
Shamrocks mall around
And little children's laughter
Fills the air and we'll
Celebrate Saint Patrick's day
This Irish feast a welcome sight
A beacon shining pure and bright

A festive air a joyful scene

And family and friends will
Gather round in a joyful parade
Waving Irish flags on Saint Patrick's day
And stories are been told and
Happiness and memories are made

From Dublin town to Galway Bay
Everyone is Irish today and the
Little children waving the
Irish flags and ancient stories
Of Saint Patrick are told
And Irish music fills the air
And singing and dancing everyehere

And the little leprechauns
Will dance on rooftops unseen
their tiny feet a secret shuffle

And the parade was a colorful sight
With happiness and love shining bright
And the bag pipes are so sweet
And a rhythmic quick beat
And chased all the worries about

In vibrant hues a festive scene
Irish blessings warm and true

And on Saint Patrick's Day
The memories we cherish
And so may the love and luck
Of the Irish be with you
All around the world
On this very special and
Loving peaceful day
So God bless you all
And may you all have
A magical and happy
Peaceful Saint Patrick's Day.

Little flower blooming
In the moring sunlight
Your petals so beautiful
And bright with colours
Glowing in the light  
In stories retold
You bring joy to everyone.

Irelands call with
Shamrock's green and lucky charms
And joy fills the whole day
On Saint Patrick's Day.

Our heart is our home
Although we may not keep
Things in our home we live
The state of our heart before
Lord Jesus Christ what matters.

In springtime the flowers will bloom
And they will dance in the morning
Sunlight and they will chase
Away all the gloom and
There petals so colorful and bright
They bring me pure delight
Warming my heart in life
And sweeten the air with
Their tasty perfume.

Springtime has truly begun
And sweet scented flowers
Fill the air and the little
Birds all sing a happy
Soothing song a
Chorus to the fresh display and
Springtime is fresh and bright
And the flowers will smile
In the morning sunlight and
Spring's gentle kiss the world renews
With colourful flowers beautful and bright
And all the land rejoices in the springtime.
