Story behind the song
All the songs on this CD were inspired, written and recorded during my stay in Jerusalem in 2001. It was during the time of the second intifada. It was a crazy place, and for an Australian with no knowledge of this historical city, it was a wonderful learning experience.
Lyrics
Where is Palestine, Baby. ??Can you show me the way to Palestine baby? ?I’ve looked on the map, but I can’t find it anywhere baby. ?I learnt about Palestine at school, yes I did baby. ?Can you show me the way to Palestine baby? ??You cannot hide a country, ?Where is Palestine baby? ??We’re standing in the streets of East Jerusalem baby. ?I can see the people from Palestine everywhere baby. ?If I can see the people, where is Palestine baby? ?Can you show me the way to Palestine baby? ??You cannot hide a country, ?Where is Palestine baby? ??I can see the minarets pointing to the sky baby. ?I can hear the muezzin calling to the faithful baby. ?I know I must be close, close to Palestine baby. ?Can you show me the way to Palestine baby. ??You cannot hide a country, ?Where is Palestine baby. ??What do you mean, there ain’t no Palestine baby? ?Everyone has heard of Palestine, haven’t they baby? ?So you sayin’ I’ll never get to Palestine baby. ?Well, I reckon I have already found Palestine baby. ??It may not be on a map, ?But I know I’m in Palestine baby. ??It may not be on a map, ?But I know I’m in Palestine baby. ??It may not be on a map, ?But I know I’m in Palestine baby.
