[Verse 1]
O world, hush for a moment
Hear the trembling breath
Not the smoke in the sky
But a child in the dark
Some cities vanish twice
First from maps, then hearts
Gaza, Gaza
Your name still sparks
[Pre-Chorus]
A mother’s lullaby
Left unfinished in the air
A father’s hands still shake
With hope he used to share
The sea can sing our grief
The stones would speak it too
When one heart turns away
What do we do?
[Chorus]
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
A child is calling out
A child is calling out
Peace is not too small
Compassion stands taller
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
[Verse 2]
A bird cuts through the wind
It asks no one to prove
The sun does not choose sides
It shines on me and you
Then why do we build walls
Inside the human face?
A tear falls once and stays
No power can replace
[Pre-Chorus]
O rulers of the world
Your shadow cannot win
Against a child’s lost sleep
Against the hurt within
When weapons make their noise
Poetry survives
In a mother’s prayer
In an orphan’s eyes
[Chorus]
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
A child is calling out
A child is calling out
Peace is not too small
Compassion stands taller
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
[Bridge]
May the sky hold kites again
May schools hold only light
May children learn birdsong
Instead of fright
Hunger has no religion
Tears have no country
Every fallen hope
Still leans on humanity
[Final Chorus]
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
Gaza is not alone
Gaza is not alone
A child wants sky to live under
Enough earth to run on
Listen with your heart
Listen with your heart
[Outro]
Do not just hear Gaza
Listen with your heart
When conscience wakes at last
We remember who we are
