Israel

Daddy was from Israel his brow never furrowed Momma was from Palestine a beautiful girl When they fell in love it was the love they both deserved They got married but their parents didn't like that much They said "have you forgotten what they've done to us? They're the one's to fight they ain't the ones to love" But what's love when you give it up? It's a fig tree blooming in a world that can't spare a drop In the days when they've just begun Let your heart heal scars from the deeds that the other done In the promised land where some try to cope Some will try to kick you out and some have seen the ghosts They had a couple little girls, the ones they loved the most After 15 years she filed for divorce She said "our problems just been gaining a little too much force" But I wouldn't trade my time with you for another boy Cause that's love when you're picking up All the pieces that fell through the cracks when your time was up In the days when they've just begun Let your heart heal the scars from the deeds that you've done And tell me How did it feel? When the bombs went off Shook the ground did it seem real? In the moment did you choose That you'd stop believing in the fear that they both use That you'd stop believing in the fear that we all use Now Momma lives in Israel, her place in the world Daddy's down the street to be near his girls When they fell in love it was the love they both deserved And that's love when you pick it up It's the wind picking up pushing clouds through the sky above In the days when they've just begun Let your heart heal scars from the deeds that the other done Let your heart heal scars from the deeds that you've done Let your heart heal scars from the deeds that the other done
