Home is where the heart is

Home is Where the Heart Is

Yasmin, Yasmin, where"s your man
Is he locked in a jail in Jerusalem
A stone"s throw away from hope
Tell me, Yasmin, will you go

Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do

Yasmin, Yasmin, what will he get
Freedom or ten years instead
And if he goes away for long
Pray, tell who will keep you both strong

Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do

"You can ink your feet with blood in the street
Fall with the walls when the bombs come down
You can say you were there when the world didn"t care
But when it"s all said and done, will the war be won
Without words of reason, without someone to teach them
That home is where the heart is and we all need one

Yasmin, Yasmin, there"s your man
Locked in a jail in Jerusalem
A stone"s throw away from hope
Tell me, Yasmin, will you go now

Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is

something to ponder upon... asking my heart, where is my Home? our Home?

I pray for my brothers and sisters in Palestine...'O brothers and sisters, my heart is where your heart is'
