Lyrics The World Looks Away - Karan Casey

The World Looks Away

I woke up from the dream
To find it all the same
The pain was still here
And the world looked away
|: The world looked away :|
Palestine burns
The curfew lingers on
Invasion by night
Occupation by dawn
|: And the world looks away :|
(3 x)
Refugee’s set your spirit free
Rise your souls above the dust
An F16 won’t bring you down
Nor take your land from your heart
Child of Jenin
Your strength must get you through
They took your brothers once
Soon they will come for you
|: And the world will look away :|
Refugee’s set your spirit free
Rise your souls above the dust
An F16 won’t bring you down
Nor take your land from your heart
And the world looks away
