In a bygone year in Palestine
Lived Jesus Christ a famed Rabbi
Said he if children ask for bread
Do not give them a stone instead
Far better that you drown in the sea
Than harm children or stop their belief
What would he say if he could see
The hunger that we don’t relieve?
For in Gaza today where food aid is banned
Children eat not flour but sand
Infants in thousands are killed in the fray
Murdered by missiles and bombs that slay
Legs and arms daily severed from bone
Orphaned they’re left to starve alone
Their childhood is stolen by adults obscene
Their growth is stunted despite our pleas
If disease fails to make them ill
Malnutrition most surely will
For in Gaza today where food aid is banned
Children eat not flour but sand
This famine by Israel with U.S. support
Kills and maims, cuts kids’ lives short
In Gaza where the UN is banned
The children eat not flour but sand
In Gaza where food aid is banned
Children eat not flour but sand
