Shalom Salaam

Ziggy Marley

lost am I in my memories of my forefathers' legacy

I am one of you you are one of me

why don't we set the people free

how I grieve to see fulfillment of prophecy

naive of me to think things could change

while man remain the same so war will be for me everyday

no peace no peace for the children of Israel

Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes

will there be no peace for the children of Palestine



shalom salaam shalom salaam



who will take the blame for the blood of my children

to who does vengeance belong to no one no one

we're dying from tanks and suicide bombs

the only answer is to live as one

and justice will come for my sons and just will come for my sons



shalom salaam shalom salaam



and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what

is in the heart of you

and I wonder why and I wonder who and I wonder what

is in the heart of you

children are children no matter color or faith

and I wonder if history will teach us again



so war will be for me everyday

no peace no peace for the children of Israel

Gaza cries all the tears from her eyes

will there be no peace for the children of Palestine



and justice will come for my sons



shalom salaam shalom salaam
