Rachel Corrie Lyrics

Rachel Corrie lyrics

You heard of Rachel Coorie?

The press won't tell her story

Caught between a house and bulldozer

She found out that Israel

Hates gardens and it will kill

Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip.



Let's pretend that everything will be OK

It's not our fault let's look the other way

And go to films or dance lessons or baseball

games at night

and trust elected leaders to choose right



I hurt for Rachel's father

To bury his young daughter

And her belief in human goodness

He taught her to fight violence

Now all that's left is silence

And the memory of her dignity

Let's pretend...

Rachel I hope you find justice or even a

Garden where anyone can grow some food in peace

No guns, no need to fight. No poor, no black no white,

Heaven, you deserve a break from misery
