A song about the terrible situation in Israel and Palestine. So much insanity. So many unnecessary deaths. And its the children who suffer most on both sides. Not yet conditioned, still young enough to learn to think in a different way, but the most common victims. Even if they survive, their childhood will have been murdered. Stop the fighting. Violence is not the answer. Original version Broken by Jake Bugg and Crispin Hunt. Lyrics adapted by Jack Stafford and sung over a karaoke version. Video edited by Francis Cassidy thestrayphotographer from news photography. LYRICS: VERSE 1 Bright Light then It all went dark - for you Then you see Your family Huddled together - your mothers broken And there is the school where you wont cause trouble There is your body buried under the rubble And every bone - has been broken BRIDGE Palestinian child Palestinian child Palestinian child Palestinian child VERSE 2 Wondering what happened to them That theyd become such violent men Have their hearts - all been broken? Your struggling hard to make sense of it all As the bombs explode and the buildings fall The whole city - is being broken Whos Netanyahu? Why does he attack? Who is Hamas and why does he fight back? Why would a ceasefire - ever be broken? CHORUS Down in the valley of the cursed and damned Wholl lead us through to the promised land Whooooaaa You are one You are one VERSE 3 Float away From the fighting men Across the wall - to Jerusalem [See a people whove only known persecution Their ancestors all killed by execution But their spirit - never broken] And then a missile goes flying by Launched by your brother into the sky It falls downwards - you cant stop it You hover over the fire and smoke Hear the women cry and the children choke Then floating up you see an Israeli child CHORUS Down in the valley of the cursed and damned Wholl lead us through to the promised land Whooooaaa You are one Whooooaaa You are one You are one
