GAZA (The First Day of Your Life) 
 
How precious a gift you are, you beautiful newborn child          
Your mother could find eternity and lose herself in your smile   
She’d be happy to hold you for a lifetime if she could               
But bombs are falling while you slumber 
Here comes the one that’s got your number 
 
Welcome to your first day in this land of pain and strife 
Welcome to the first day of your life 
The genocidal psychopaths have got you in their sights 
Welcome to the first day of your life                                        
 
Deep in our heart of hearts lies a secret that we all know      
Everyone’s inner light reflects the same sacred glow            
How can we turn away in silence, in silence                          
When your body, charred and broken                                  
Speaks a truth that must be spoken                                        
 
Welcome to your first day in this land of pain and strife 
Welcome to the first day of your life 
The genocidal psychopaths have got you in their sights 
Welcome to the first day of your life                                        
The first day of your life                                                              
The last day of your life

Gaza (The First Day Of Your Life)

Don't you feel like right now is the
Time for a reckoning with the sickening
Old men that are keeping us hostage and angry
I'm not up for an apocalypse in waiting
So long overdue, I will no longer take it

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
I used to be dead but now I'm  
Breathing and feeling
Taking back the world from humanity

Don't you feel like we are at the dawn of a
Quickening hefty thickening insurgence of a 
Rising and brave generation
Will you come and join the celebration
So long overdue, we will finally make it

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
I used to be dead but now I'm  
Breathing and feeling
Taking back the world from humanity

Lyrics:

Don't you feel like right now is the
Time for a reckoning with the sickening
Old men that are keeping us hostage and angry
I'm not up for an apocalypse in waiting
So long overdue, I will no longer take it

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
I used to be dead but now I'm 
Breathing and feeling
Taking back the world from humanity

Don't you feel like we are at the dawn of a
Quickening hefty thickening insurgence of a 
Rising and brave generation
Will you come and join the celebration
So long overdue, we will finally make it

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
I used to be dead but now I'm 
Breathing and feeling
Taking back the world from humanity
