_________________________
(Verse 1)
In Gaza's early morning light,
An airstrike brought a tragic plight.
Eighteen lives from one family lost,
Innocent souls paid the cost.
(Verse 2)
Sami Jawad al-Ejlah, a peaceful man,
With his wives, children, and kin, they ran.
Seeking shelter, they found no peace,
As talks of ceasefire sought release.
(Chorus)
The strike hit hard, the toll was grim,
Forty more sheltered, hopes grew dim.
In Zawaida, a house and warehouse hit,
Lives shattered in a tragic split.
(Verse 3)
Mediators strive for a ceasefire's grace,
To end the suffering, to heal this place.
In Cairo, talks will soon resume,
Praying for peace to lift the gloom.
(Chorus)
US President Biden, optimistic and bright,
Hopes for a ceasefire to end the fight.
With basic needs and supplies running low,
Aid workers fear a polio blow.
(Bridge)
Tensions high, fears of broader war,
A ceasefire's hope, they all implore.
Iran and Hezbollah, threats loom near,
Praying for peace to quell the fear.
(Verse 4)
The death toll rises, over forty thousand gone,
Since the war began, the suffering's long.
Hostages held, over a hundred in plight,
Mediation efforts strive to make things right.
(Chorus)
In Gaza's early morning light,
An airstrike brought a tragic plight.
Eighteen lives from one family lost,
Innocent souls paid the cost.
