Let it rain, let it shine,
Let it hail, let it snow,
Let it breeze, let it blow,
Call me not until I’m done.
Let the Alps melt, the Aegean boil,
Let the Amazon burn, the Sahara sear,
Let the Eiffel fall, the Pisa lean,
Stop me not until I’m done.
Let spring pass, summer come,
Let the sun set, day break,
Let flowers bloom, leaves fall,
Miss me not until I’m done.
Let my food rot, sleep be lost,
Let hair fall, stubble grey,
Let fingers ache, heart burn,
Touch me not until I’m done.
Let my tears flow, sweat roll,
Let anger rise, agony swell,
Let words freeze, silence clot,
Calm me not until I’m done.
Let my body stoop, will grow faint,
Let soul sob, sores bleed,
Let steps sway, lungs wheeze,
Hug me not until I’m done.
Let my cries ring, wails surge,
Let eyes blur, ears fail,
Let lips quiver, skin fold,
Kiss me not until I’m done.
Love me not until the Gazans
Are free to live, learn and rest,
And kids play, pray, and plant
Olives of love in their homeland.
