Kathleen Blackwell "LETTER TO ISRAEL AND THE TERRITORIES OF PALESTINE"

From my heart to yours: One take. Unrehearsed. And on the fly.

"LETTER TO ISRAEL AND THE TERRITORIES OF PALESTINE"

Verse(s):

You came today,
And then you walked away,
And you wonder why I pray.

You peer in through
Your looking glass saying,
Woman, are you insane?

Yes, yes I'm terrified
Of this world
In all her pain.

We victimize,
And terrorize and we
Conscientiously train,

Baby's eyes to
Demoralize and
Brutalize in vain.

We crucify,
And indemnify to
Justify our name.

Chorus:

Oh, world insane,
Israel—mother in pain.
World insane,
Palestine—a child in flames.

Verse(s):

I know you're angry,
Mortified,
Afraid—

Prisoners of
Eternal hate,
Digging early graves.

I'm sorry for your
Constant grief,
Maybe I can help you in this way?

Listen to
Each others words,
Repeat what you just heard.

Listen—repeat their words.

You say, Impossible to
Repeat today—
Woman you are insane.

No, I am a
Humble man—
Just listen for your name.

Chorus:

Oh, world insane,
Israel—mother in pain.
World insane,
Palestine—a child in flames.
Crucified and left in shame.

Verse-end:

Just listen for their
Words today—
Your pain the same in every way.

Production Notes: Recorded in one-take, unrehearsed and on-the-fly at Veneto West in Los Angeles. Post production for Kathleen Blackwell's debut CD, "To Be Human" available March 2009. "Letter to Israel and The Territories of Palestine" song written in one hour, one evening after intense news reports, with my thoughts alone at the piano. It's what poured out...

"Songwriting has carried me on a beautiful journey of combining my passion for music, my intrinsic curiosity about human nature and my desire to bridge communication gaps."

Every human bleeds. Every human breathes. Every human cries.
