Song for Rachel
Rachel laid her body down Rachel laid her body down For the love of peace and justice, Rachel Corrie stood her ground Rachel laid her body down
A young girl in a refugee camp stood before a home Trying to stop a bulldozer with human flesh and bone She died beneath the wheels of war, of hatred and of fear You are present, Rachel Corrie, we are singing through our tears CH A young man stood in silence, the camera caught him there Holding back the tanks that were runbling to Tianiman Square Never knew what happened to that man so far away But when I think of courage, I still think of him today
And how he laid his body down How he laid his body down Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For the love of peace and justice, that young man stood his ground And he laid his body down
Some stand before a logging truck, knee deep in rain and mud, Some try to stop a bomber with a hammer and their blood Love takes a stand in human bodies, heart and head and hands Machines of war and green will rust and crumble in the sand
They have laid their bodies down They have laid their bodies down For the love of peace and justice there are those who've stood their ground They have laid their bodies down Rachel laid her body down
