The World Looks Away - Karan Casey

I woke up from the dream

To find it all the same

The pain was still here

And the world looked away

|: The world looked away :|

Palestine burns

The curfew lingers on

Invasion by night

Occupation by dawn

|: And the world looks away :|

(3 x)

Refugee’s set your spirit free

Rise your souls above the dust

An F16 won’t bring you down

Nor take your land from your heart

Child of Jenin

Your strength must get you through

They took your brothers once

Soon they will come for you

|: And the world will look away :|

Refugee’s set your spirit free

Rise your souls above the dust

An F16 won’t bring you down

Nor take your land from your heart

And the world looks away
