Jihad

Emmanuel Jihad The battle Knights and swords Devils and silent men in masks The bombs come raining down Arms and legs flay both here and over there Blood is lost, families tossed Fighting over who is the more righteous Boss Jihad Jihad Mummy and daddy are all but gone My little brother where did you put your arms? A child born into a war cries at the violence We all abhor Childhood stolen Barrels of monkeys Barrel bombs The orphanage, the respite from all that’s wrong Jihad Jihad Jihad Jeffries said it best Hate shall never defeat hate or haters jest So an angels hand became a mothers loves Two brothers arm in arm with warmth of the doves Traveling to safer havens Angels know, the afterglow, of inner strength and peace Jihad Hallelujah He is more man than ever I When you see his smile, it makes you cry For the self pity of a deedless life Here he is, with a heart wrapped in sheath of gold Here he is to sing, a story that must be told Imagine Emmanuel singing to you, with a soul born of Iraq Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there are dreams above Maybe the hell will burn itself out Emmanuel is the star of hope Rising above, angelic voices that envelope When days are cloudy And you have your doubts Think of the gardens of Babylon Where long ago a thousand Emmanuel’s would sing Hallelujah Hallelujah When we see the smiles from inside the soul Shining, we hear the voice from Dead Sea scrolls Heart to heart, the voices heard From the masses of humanity Emmanuel you are the inspiration Of what we wish all the world to be Hallelujah
