I want to tell the world       ************ ********* ********* **   I want to tell the world A story               About a home With a broken lantern           And a burnt doll           About a picnic That wasn’t enjoyed                         About an axe That killed a tulip                           A story about a fire That consumed a plait                 a story about a tear that couldn’t run down       I want to tell a story About a goat That wasn’t milked           About a mother’s dough That wasn’t baked                     About a wedding That wasn’t celebrated                   And a baby girl that didn’t grow up                       About a football That wasn’t kicked           About a dove That didn’t fly           I want to tell a story About a key That wasn’t used                       About a classroom That wasn’t attended                           About a playground That was silenced           About a book That wasn’t read                     About a besieged lonely farm And about its fruits That weren’t picked         About a lie that wasn’t discovered               A story about a church That’s no longer prayed in       And a mosque That no longer stands           And a culture No longer rejoiced                               I want to tell a story About a muddy grassy roof                   About a stone That faced a tank             And about a stubborn flag That refuses to lie down                               About a spirit that cannot be defeated           I want to tell the world A story           Now Light a little candle for Palestine           You can do it       Light a candle One little candle Watch the darkness fade away   Just try it out One ray of light Wipes away the gloomiest Jet-black nights As the dawn breaks Just observe Can you see that All the might of darkness In the world Cannot extinguish The faintest flicker Of a beam of light Light a candle One little candle Watch the darkness fade away You can do it       Hey.. WORLD Did you hear me?
