Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
Imagine
That you
And your family
Are at home
In Pakistan or Palestine
Or Afghanistan or Iraq
Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
That in a moment
The pilot
Way up there
Or the controller
Someplace else
Will push a button
Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
Imagine
The terror
When the walls
Of your home
Cave in
Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
Imagine
The screams
Of your children
As the walls
Of their lungs
Cave in
Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
Imagine
The despair
And grief
When the walls
Of your heart
Cave in
Listen to the sound
Of that plane overhead
Imagine
The rage
You would feel
Toward the pilot
Or the controller
And the country
They represent
Listen to the sound
