Villages empty Not a human Nor a stone Villages empty Children are gone And a mother rocks Herself to sleep Let it come down Let her weep
And the dead lay in strange shapes
Some stay buried Others crawl free Baby didn't make it Screaming debris And a mother rocks Herself to sleep Let it come down Let her weep
And the dead lay in strange shapes
Limp little bodies Caked in mud Small, small hands Found in the road Their talking about War aims What a phrase Bombs that fall American made The new middle east The Rice woman squeaks And a mother rocks Herself to sleep
And the dead lay in strange shapes
Little bodies Little bodies Tied head and feet Wrapped in plastic Laid out in the street The new middle east The Rice woman squeaks And a mother rocks Herself to sleep Let here come down Let here weep
And the dead lay in strange shapes
Water to wine Wine to blood Ahh qana The miracle Is love The miracle Is love
