Story Behind The Song

recorded winter, spring 2009

Song Description

This song is about the long and never ending differences between Muslims and Jews and me being an American don't want their feud to poison this country. I don't want my children to have to live in a war zone as their children do.

Lyrics

I tried so hard to see things From your points of view
Now I don't care what Mohammed
Ever said to you.
And I don't care if Moses
Parted a thousand seas
Cause that won't keep my Children any safer from you.

Chorus:

So here we are
In the middle of this all.
Stuck in between the bombs
In God's name that fall.
Ten thousand years later
The only truth to be told
Is your world can never be
Far enough away.

I don't wish to diminish
All of your pains
But the rest of the world
looks on
And we see you're all insane.
Don't you think the time has come
To find something else to do?
Than teaching your little children how to hate a Muslim or a Jew?

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:

Not here not now
With your unreasonable point of view.
So you strap up a few more,
And blow them right out of this world.
The more that they take with
'um, the bigger their fame,
No doubt your world could
never be,
Far Enough Away.

Don't cling to the past
Or fight your grandfather's wars
At this point it don't matter
Who's been right or who's been wrong.
So lay your weapons down
Bury your hatreds in the sea
And commit to a world
Fit for your children to see.

[Repeat Chorus]
