Say A Prayer For Gaza

 Verse 1.

What's the plan for tonight?

Maybe dinner for two,

Making love by the light

Of a lamp not in view?

Chorus 1.

Have you not heard the news?

Even women were dying,

Getting caught in the fighting;

Say a prayer for Gaza.

Verse 2.

What's the plan for tonight?

A late stroll in the park,

Making love by the light

Of the moon in the dark?

Chorus 2.

Have you not heard the news?

Even children were dying,

Getting caught in the fighting;

Say a prayer for Gaza.

Sub-Chorus.

Say a prayer too for all the Gazas of the world,

The Gazas of the world,

The Gazas of the world, please.

Verse 3.

What's the plan for tonight?

He says bottle of wine?

She says Mozart alright?

He says your place or mine?

Chorus 3.

Have you not heard the news?

Even babies were dying,

Getting caught in the fighting;

Say a prayer for Gaza.

Verse 4.

[instrumental]

Chorus 4.

Have you not heard the news?

Even babies were dying,

Getting caught in the fighting;

Say a prayer for Gaza.

[repeat sub-chorus]

Hear our prayers for Gaza, Ya Allah,

Hear our prayers for Gaza, Ya Allah,

Hear our prayers for Gaza, Ya Allah,

Our pleas for an end to the fighting have been all but in vain,

Our people who march through the streets in protest cry out in pain.

Our pleas for an end to the fighting have been to no avail,

Our people who march through the streets in protest end up in jail.

Our pleas for an end to the fighting have fallen on deaf ears,

Our people who march through the streets in protest end up in tears.
