Tears - Hatikva 6

Inna me country you are a child until the age of eighteen

A man one day — because of the uniform in green

Inna your hand dem a place a gun -- M16

From youths to life we have army between

Separated from your roots & sent to war school

Are you a nation warrior?

Or just a meaningless tool?

For every simple action there is a complicated rule

To fight for peace seems a sentence of a fool

Tears of a Hebrew mother — the cry of a Hebrew nation

Loss of a Hebrew soldier — the cry of a Hebrew nation

Tears of a little sister — the cry of a Hebrew nation

Loss of a Hebrew soldier…

Me know that our history demand it nowadays

A problematic situation ain’t just a passing phase

I wonder to myself there must be lots of other ways

To live alongside neighbors not alongside graves

Oh.

I remember when I left home

Full of wonders and fears for a trip of 3 years

The pictures of the families try hiding dem tears

They never came back again open your ears…

Now it’s night time… quiet inna tent

A phone call home & another message sent

Final words and map direction

About the operation

Camouflage & arms begin the last steps of preparation

Before sunrise dem a leave After a night without no sleep

Towards the ancient village

Dem are four inna the jeep

And a gunshot heard

Explosion & a scream, smoke & faya

A pinch to leave the dream…

But this a no dream, an everyday reality

We deal with Loss of our friends

And our relatives

We deal with Memorial day each day nah once a year

We a deal with

We haffi deal with what dem deal with

Sons of Israel will return home safe & well

Sons of Israel will return home safe & well
