    In a distant land where shadows of souls now sleep
    From a broken world i hear their hearts still weep
    Yet here in my home calm and still
    My life dances on, untouched by ill
    For in my streets where laughter thrives
    The wars cruel reality it barely arrives
    "It's someone else's fight", i say
    Their skies are dark but...
    Mine bright as day
    For he is not I
    She is not her
    They are not we
    And they are not us


    A daughters last breath i still hear her fathers roars
    But in my bubble, behind my closed doors
    Here i stand untouched by strife
    I realise God has sheilded me from storms of life
    It's not our family
    Not our domain
    Their cries for peace
    Their cries in pain


    Yet I still see the shadows loom across the sea
    Where Palestine simply fights to be
    My complacent heart
    My indifferent mind
    I see the pain of palestine but it's my heart that's gone blind
    As long as it's not my home
    As long as it's not my gate
    I'll live my life and leave theirs to fateĀ 
    For he is not I
    She is not her
    They are not we
    And they are not us
