IF I MUST DIE | IF I MUST DIE |

If I must die, | If I must die, |
you must live | you must live |
to tell my story | to tell my story |
to sell my things | to sell my things |
to buy a piece of cloth | to buy a piece of cloth |
and some strings, | and some strings, |
(make it white with a long tail) | (make it white with a long tail) |
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza | so that a child, somewhere in Gaza |
while looking heaven in the eye | while looking heaven in the eye |
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze– | awaiting his dad who left in a blaze— |
and bid no one farewell | and bid no one farewell |
not even to his flesh | not even to his flesh |
not even to himself– | not even to himself— |
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above | sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above |
and thinks for a moment an angel is there | and thinks for a moment an angel is there |
bringing back love | bringing back love |
If I must die | If I must die |
let it bring hope | let it bring hope |
let it be a tale | let it be a tale |
