I Imagine as Gaza City is Being Invaded and Blown to Smithereens Tonight...

some Palestinian young person is penning lyrics akin to our own Star Spangled Banner, in hiding and praying that his or her nascent state survives into the morning daylight.  For if even one Palestinian survives with the fire for freedom in their blood, Israel -- and by proxy, the United States -- loses once again militarily, despite our dominance in weaponry and treasure.

You cannot beat others into submission and declare victory over them by crushing their children and their elders, destroying their homes and places of worship, and denying their humanity. 

Life Goes On. Hope Lives. A New State is Born.

Boyzone: No matter what they tell us

No matter what they doNo matter what they teach usWhat we believe is true
No matter what they call usHowever they attackNo matter where they take usWe'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believeI can't be what I'm notI know I'll love foreverI know no matter what
If only tears were laughterIf only night was dayIf only prayers were answeredThen we would hear God say
No matter what they tell usNo matter what they doNo matter what they teach usWhat we believe is true
And I will keep you safe and strongAnd shelter from the stormNo matter where it's barrenA dream is being born
No matter who they followNo matter where they leadNo matter how they judge usI'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shineOr if the skies are blueNo matter what the end isMy life began with you
I can't deny what I believeI can't be what I'm notI know, I knowI know this love's forever
That's all that matters nowNo matter what
No, no matter (no no matter what)No, no matter (no no matter what)No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)No, no matter, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)And no, no matter what, that's all that matters to me (no no matter what)And no, no matter what, that's all that matters to me
