Lyrics
"It Will Be Me" (Ballad of Rachel Corrie) She sent a letter to her mother And she sent a letter to her father And her sister, and her brother, And her friends that she left By the shores of the shining waters*. I'll remain with these people a bit longer I cannot leave them to suffer while I wander And the children they need me to stay-- They're afraid of the night and the soldiers coming. [chorus] In the face of each child You see on the streets It will be me It will be me. In the laugh of each girl And the laugh of each boy It will be me It will be me. Please don't worry about my safety any longer Don't you worry about my hurting any longer-- I'm no longer afraid, no longer alone, No longer wondering where I'm going. [bridge] I'm bound to walk this road There's danger all around The children of Palestine It's all they've ever known-- But when I saw that father Sadly walking Leading his children Toward the snipers "I tried to stand between them" And the fire From the "murderous towers"-- [chorus] And if one of these children Ever is free She will be me She will be me. And if one of these children Ever knows peace He will be me He will be me. [Repeat first verse and chorus] * As described in her letters regarding the waters near Puget Sound and her home in Olympia, Washington.
