lyrics

This hatred goes back several thousand years or more
We think that it’s gone, it comes sneaking thru the back door
Its ethnic, religious and racial in overlapping waves of mistrust
When fear takes over and when reason has bitten the dust

Blood libel takes root where schools don’t educate
in some countries it’s the policy of the state
Up to now in my life, I rarely met it face to face
But after October 7th, its getting to be more commonplace

Tearing down posters of hostages, never thought I’d see that here
Starting to understand my grandparents and their fear
If you go ahead and cut us, do we not bleed?
Not according to so many people’s news feed

My in-laws were survivors of the Holocaust in Poland
They always said antisemitism would rise again in the end
I didn’t believe them, I had not seen the things they saw
So forgive me if whats going on, kind of rubs me raw
