Long Angles#nowplaying Dumai, by Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird
(I carry in my heart a dream / a flag of peace & a land redeemed
but in my dream a wall of wire / stone & iron forged in fire
on the wall a soldier stands / keeps us out of our own land
borders tear us all apart / on the ground & in the heart
while we all must learn to conquer hate, / what's a nation without a state?
the land is holy, but for whom? / God of the star or the crescent moon?
no one freely gives up power / we alone can take what's ours
without freedom, without land / here in exile we do stand
without justice, without peace / just a dream become a beast
where will exile draw the line? / in Israel or Palestine?)
