I'll Take Palestine! by Scott Utley
If you give me Palestine,
I swear to God I'll end this crime.
I'll lay verbena, purple glory,
along the path of Jesus' story.
I'll ask our buddy, jolly Buddha,
to bring white roses, and blessed Moses.
We'll ask dear Mohammed and sister Mary
to feed our souls should we get weary.
Let's take those SCUDS aimed right at you,
and melt them down to different hues.
We'll paint love stories, grand and true,
about these gifts God's given you.
We'll ask all Christians, Muslims, Jews,
to blend their truths, milk and honey;
a special brew in a special chalice,
let's finally end this deep, dark malice.
Let's all take sips, become blood brothers,
better yet, spiritual lovers.
Let's drink to love blessed in this chalice.
Here's a toast to G-d's great palace.
A thousand more to the Promised Land!
We'll form a circle hand in hand.
We'll make a pact across this land.
Senseless hate we used to fan,
forever buried beneath the sand.
And all the prophets will bless our peace.
We'll dance all night. We'll throw a feast.
We'll gain salvation. We'll make a stand.
Call out the doves. Peace to this land!
