How could we allow this to happen?
Intolerance of our fellow beings
Is this how it’s always been?
I can’t accept what I am seeing
Israelis committing How could we allow this to happen?
Intolerance of our fellow beings
Is this how it’s always been?
I can’t accept what I am seeing
Israelis committing genocide
In the endless cause of vengeance
Hate filled people taking sides
We are mired in intransigence
Turning on our neighbors
As if we’ve never known them
As if they are invaders
As if we have outgrown them
The rule of right has vanished
The rule of might grows strong
Lady Justice has been banished
Our rights have turned to wrong
It hasn’t always been this way
We used to care about the other
Now it seems we’ve gone astray
We’ve turned on our own brothers
It’s not too late to turn around
To stand up for the right
From every city to every town
Return us to the light
In the endless cause of vengeance
Hate filled people taking sides
We are mired in intransigence
Turning on our neighbors
As if we’ve never known them
As if they are invaders
As if we have outgrown them
The rule of right has vanished
The rule of might grows strong
Lady Justice has been banished
Our rights have turned to wrong
It hasn’t always been this way
We used to care about the other
Now it seems we’ve gone astray
We’ve turned on our own brothers
It’s not too late to turn around
To stand up for the right
From every city to every town
Return us to the light
