See him lying on a bed of strife
All around there is a loss of life
Mary weeping for she fears the knife
That awaits the child that she bore.

Silver rockets streak across the skies
Where they land another person dies
Shepherds running, do you hear their cries
Where is the savior of the world?

There is no Christmas now in Bethlehem
Children lost, no-one will save them
Silent the voices that should condemn
This conflict in the Holy Land!
