The Spark of Freedom
Remember that spark in your eye
When you first heard the news
That the siege would be broken
And Ghaza would revive soon
The leap your heart made
The strength you felt
Of being backed up
By people of all colors and race
Remember first seeing these ships
That majestic scene
Remember merrily designing them
With the Palestinian white, black, red and green
The impulse you felt then
To immediately set sail
To free Ghaza was your aim
And a “Free Ghaza” you wanted to claim
You anxiously waited
Counted the days as they went by
Now the time has finally come
The Freedom Flotilla launches today
With butterflies in your stomach
You say your prayers and last farewells
And on to the ship you step
With determination at the sound of its bells
Next thing you know
You’re almost there
Your head becomes filled
With questions so dire
Will the navy let us in?
Or will they open fire?
Well, here are the facts
I’ll lay ’em out straight
To make things clear to you
And relieve you from your questioning state
It’s a bumpy ride ahead
You all know it’s true
So when the first setback comes
Don’t you dare say you’re through
To survive and succeed
You must fight for what is right
And if it doesn’t come in peace
Be prepared to put up a fight
Opposition should not break you
Opposition makes you stronger
To free Gaza was your aim
And a “Free Gaza” you shall claim
Remember that spark in your eye
When you first heard the news ?
Don’t let that spark die
Don’t bury it under fear
A spark is what it takes
For a brushfire to begin
A spark is what you need
And a “Free Gaza” you will win
