No Daylight

This is a protest song for the people of Palestine. Like many others, I called for a ceasefire almost two years ago. Gaza has since been bombed continually, and now is even worse because of the war across the region. Time to solve this problem if we ever want lasting peace. I wrote the lyrics, but reluctantly used AI to create the music since I can't play or sing right now. If I had a band, I would call it the Middle Aged Poets Militia (MAPM). If you like this song, please like, comment, and share. If you know musicians, it's open for use. Lyrics by Gilbert Schramm, video editing by Carol Schramm. Lyrics: No Daylight A Protest Song for Palestine by Gilbert Schramm Daylight is the time when we all Live and work and love Light is a blessing raining down from above But every day I hear misguided people say Between Israel and the USA There must never be Any daylight at all No daylight at all… They say America must hold Israel in a tight embrace Rarely have two allies been so two faced They both preach democracy But it’s all crass hypocrisy In Palestine whole families are erased A land and a people going down without a trace And there is No Democracy, No security No humanity No justice No freedom There is no daylight at all In the thunder in the sky there is no rain Just more portents of more coming pain There is no water to drink, No food to eat, No silence to think, No silence to sleep No daylight… No daylight at all Dust from the explosions and I can’t breathe Smoke from the fires and I can’t see They say that I can’t stay But they won’t let me leave No time to grieve Nothing much left to believe And when the dawn finally breaks Over Palestine today There is still… No daylight at all… People who lose their countries live as refugees Even if they are living on their ancient lands In Palestine there are refugees As far as the eye can see Every day we hear the prayer calls Every day we see them fall And there is still No daylight all If Palestine is ever to be free It truly might be up to you and me So send a letter Pick up the phone Let Palestine know it doesn’t stand alone Until we help set them free They will never see Any daylight at all No peace at all, No equality No freedom No justice No…no daylight at all
