Lebanon - Luka Bloom

Things are looking bad now

They never have been worse

To the north lie mountains

To the south a curse

Bloodstained footprints in the shifting sands

Among the olive groves of Cedarland

Lebanon

Lebanon…

Young girls go running around

Giggling out the door

Every generation has seen these wars before

Caught between a rock and a hard, hard place

Still you live your lives in a state of grace

Lebanon

Lebanon…

Old man smokes his pipe

And through world-weary eyes

He curses the cameras

And pleads to merciless skies

Through the ashes float the words of Khalil Gibran

Love in time will show her hand

Lebanon

Lebanon…
