The years in prison were not kind to Goliath He grew smaller and weaker while David grew strong His castles kicked over; his crop destroyed before him It weighed heavy on Goliath how it had gone so wrong
So, he stood and he shouted at the ranks of Israel From the river to the sea, words laden with dread David called for his sling and selected five stones He’d settle for no less now than Goliath’s head
He turned out the lights in Goliath’s prison Cut off supplies, cut off the outside Gave Goliath notice of the date and time We held our breath; David crossed the line
His stones flew hard, his stones flew long Let only God tell me that I’m doing wrong Women and children in their thousands gone While David bayed Goliath you do not belong
We cried stop, David said I will not Not while Goliath still breathes Not while my friends in the west send stones Not while my friends in the west send stones Not while my friends in the west send drones And bombs for me to drop David said, I will not stop
Kier says that the suffering is terrible Kier says that the suffering is wrong Kier says that he’ll recognise Palestine Once all the Palestinians are gone
