[Intro]
Am   E7x4
[Verse]
AmYoung AbE7del MahAmdi ShahE7may was Amonly eighteen E7years AmoldE7  
He was the Amyoungest of E7nine chilAmdren, E7never Amspent a night aE7way from home.
And his Dmmother held his photograph, uE7p in the New York AmTimesE7  
To see the Amkilling E7has inAmtensiE7fied aAmlong the E7road to AmpeaceE7  Am  E7  
[Verse]
AmThere was a E7tall, thin Amboy with a E7whispy moustache Amdisguised as an E7orthodox AmJewE7  
On a Amcrowded E7bus in AmJerusaE7lem, some Amhad survived E7World War AmTwoE7  
And the Dmthunderous explosion blew out E7windows 200 yards AmawayE7  
With Ammore retriE7bution and Amseventeen E7dead aAmlong the E7road to AmpeaceE7  Am  E7  
[Verse]
AmNow at KE7ing GeoAmrge Ave E7and JafAmfa Road passenE7gers bAmoardE7ed bus 14a
In the Amaisle E7next to the Amdriver E7Abdel AmMahdi (Shahmay)E7  
And the Dmlast thing that he said on earth is E7"God is great and God is Amgood"E7  
And he Amblew them E7all to Amkingdom E7come uAmpon the E7road to AmpeaceE7  Am  E7  
[Verse]
AmNow in E7response to Amthis another E7kiss of Amdeath was visE7ited uAmponE7  
AmYasser TE7aha, AmIsrael E7says is an AmHamas senior miE7litant
And DmIsrael sent four choppers in, flames enE7gulfed his white OAmpelE7  
And it Amkilled his E7wife and his Amthree year E7old child Amleaving only E7blackened skeleAmtonsE7  Am  E7  
[Verse]
AmIt's fouE7nd his AmtoddlerE7s bottle Amand a pair of E7small AmshoE7es and they waved them in front of the cameras
But Israel Amsays they diE7d not knoAmw thaE7t his wifAme and child werE7e in the car
There are Dmroadblocks everywhere and only E7suffering on TVAm  E7  
Neither sidAme will eE7ver giAmve up E7their Amsmallest E7right aAmlong thE7e roaAmd to E7peace
[Verse]
AmIsrael lE7aunched Amit's lE7atest caAmmpaign against E7Hamas Amon E7Tuesday
Two days laAmter Hamas shE7ot back aAmnd kiE7lled five AmIsraeli soldieE7rs
So Dmthousands dead and wounded on both sides most of tE7hem middle eastern civilAmiansE7  
They fill tAmhe childE7ren fuAmll of E7hate Amto fight E7an old mAman's waE7r and Amdie E7upon the road to peace
[Verse]
Am"And thiE7s is ouAmr land E7we will Amfight with all E7our fAmorceE7" say the Palestinians and the Jews
Each side wAmill cut off E7the hand Amof anE7yone who Amtries to stop tE7he resistance
If the Dmright eye offends thee then E7you must pluck it AmoutE7  
And Mahmoud AmAbbas sE7aid ShAmaron E7had beAmen lost oE7ut along Amthe roE7ad to AmpeacE7e
[Verse]
AmOnce KisE7singer Amsaid "wE7e have nAmo friends, AmeE7rica oAmnly E7has interests"
Now our preAmsident wants E7to be seAmen as E7a hero aAmnd he's hungry E7for re-election
DmBut Bush is reluctant to risk his future in the E7fear of his political faiAmluresE7  
So he plays Amchess aE7t his Amdesk E7and poAmses for tE7he press Am10,000 E7mileAms froE7m the road to peace
[Verse]
AmIn the vE7ideo thAmat they E7found aAmt the home of E7Abdel AmMahdE7i (Shahmay)
He held a KAmalashnikov rE7ifle and Amhe spE7oke with Ama voice like a E7boy
He was an eDmxcellent student, he studied so hard, it was as E7if he had a futAmureE7  
He told his Ammother E7that hAme had E7a tesAmt that daE7y out alAmong the E7road Amto pE7eace
( Am  E7)
The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
And if DmGod is great and God is good why can't E7he change the hearts of Ammen?E7  
( Am  E7)
Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
