All we have in common is the weeping

"A voice is heard in Ramah
lamentation and bitter weeping
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children
because they are no more." (Jeremiah 31:15)

Weeping in Gaza
Weeping in Israel
Weeping in Palestine
Weeping
    Weeping
        Weeping

And the missiles fly
And the bombs fall
And the children die
And all we have in common is the weeping

And God weeps with us
And God weeps for us
Weeping
    Weeping
         Weeping
