Re: songs of peace

[JOAN RUNDO <joarundo...>]

There is a palestinian group called Sabreen (don't know if they're still in
existence) who brought out a CD called Ja'a al Hamam - The Doves are coming.
The lyrics of the title song are:

The Doves are coming

Your food is a locust
Dipped in a drop of honey
Your dress, burlap and camel hair
Your shoes are thorns,
Your path is throns, its flowers few
O moon on the outer edge
O prophet exiled
Calling in the wilderness:
Widen the roads
For the deer of love and peace
Widen the roads,
The doves are coming from the mountain,
The doves are coming
(1988)


Shalom/Salaam
Joan
