My contribution and my feelings on the current situation in Lebanon.
OH LEBANON! BEAUTIFUL LEBANON
WHAT TRAGEDY HAS BEFALLEN THEE
YOUR SCENIC PLACES, CRUMBLED AND RUINED
THIS MASSACRE! THIS DISASTER!
WHAT HAS MAN DONE TO ITS OWN PEOPLE
WHAT MISERY HAVE THEY BROUGHT UPON THEE
YOUR CHILDREN WAIL, IN FRIGHT THEY RUN
MOTHER DEAR YOUR ANGUISH, IS TOO MUCH TO BEAR
WE GRIEVE WITH THEE
OH! FATHERS HOW YOU WATCH, WITH PAIN STRIKEN HEARTS
YOUR SONS FALLING TO THOSE KIILING MACHINES
BABY ABBAS! HOW WE WEPT
TO SEE YOUR CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE WIPED AWAY
YOU ARE NOW WITH THOSE ANGELS IN HEAVEN ABOVE
THEY CHERISH AND COMFORT YOU
KEEP YOU HAPPY, KEEP YOU WARM AND KEEP YOU SAFE
IN LOVING ARMS
SMILING YOU WILL WATCH US NOW
FROM THAT GLORIOUS PARADISE
SO MANY BABES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY
BY THIS HATEFUL WICKED WARS
FEARFUL WEAPONS STRIKING DAY AND NIGHT
CAUSING DEATH TO INNOCENT LIVES
EVERY PLACE A KILLING FIELD IS LEFT
HISTORIC SITES IN TATTERS LAY
OTHER MIGHTY NATIONS KEEP WATCHING ON
NOTHING MUCH CAN THEY DO!
SOME ARE ALLIES A RUTHLESS LOT
THEN THERE ARE THOSE THAT CARE FOR YOU
TO PROTECT THEE OH LEBANON, TO KEEP THEE SAFE
FROM THIS WICKED, HATEFUL WAR
LEBANON! YOU WILL STAND AGAIN
TALL AND STRONG FOR ALL TO SEE
NOW SHOW THEM ALL YOUR UNITY
BUT DO NOT TAKE TO WAEPONRY
FOR A WEAPON IF YOU LIFT
BY A WEAPON YOU SHALL FALL
YOUR WILL, YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR LOVE FOR PEACE
STAND UP LEBANON! FIGHT YOUR CAUSE, FOR JUSTICE SEEK
HAVE TRUST, HAVE FAITH
FOR FAITH MOVE MOUNTIANS
WITH TRUST SPRINGS HOPE
THIS CALAMITY WILL COME TO PASS
YOUR PEOPLE THOUGH ANGUISHED WILL LIVE ON AGAIN
VICIOUS MINDS THAT CUASED THIS WAR
NEVER WE WILL FORGET
NOR FORGIVENESS WILL BE SHOWN
THEY'LL BE BANSIHED FROM THAT PROMISED LAND
SHAME THEY BRING UPON THEMSELVES
THEY'LL BE CHASED, THEY'LL BE HANGED
THEY'LL BE DOOMED FOR ALL ETERNITY
PARADISE THEY WILL NEVER SEE
