Can't you see what's happening,
In Gaza, people suffer day by day,
Their lives destroyed, their hope decayed,
All eyes on Rafah, where the bombs do stray.

Innocent lives lost, in the rubble they're laid,
The world watches on, in shock and dismay,
As families are torn apart, in the chaos they wade,
Children cry out, in fear they stay.

Their future uncertain, in this violent crusade,
Israel's assault, relentless and cruel,
Leaves a trail of destruction, a heart-wrenching sight,
The people of Palestine, caught in this due.

Praying for peace, in the darkness of night,
Women and girls, the greatest casualties,
In situations of conflict, apartheid, and genocide,
Let's stand together, and end these tragedies.

Let's raise our voices, for those in need,
For the pregnant women, away from care,
For the children, crying out in fear,
For the families, torn apart and in despair.........
