Patti Smith has recorded a new song: “Qana”<\/strong><\/a>:
\n[band version<\/a>] [solo version<\/a>]<\/p>\n

There’s no one
\nin the village
\nnot a human
\nnor a stone
\nthere’s no one
\nin the village
\nchildren are gone
\nand a mother rocks
\nherself to sleep
\nlet it come down
\nlet her weep<\/p>\n

the dead lay in strange shapes<\/p>\n

Some stay buried
\nothers crawl free
\nbaby didn’t make it
\nscreaming debris
\nand a mother rocks
\nherself to sleep
\nlet it come down
\nlet her weep<\/p>\n

the dead lay in strange shapes<\/p>\n

Limp little dolls
\ncaked in mud
\nsmall, small hands
\nfound in the road
\ntheir talking about
\nwar aims
\nwhat a phrase
\nbombs that fall
\nAmerican made
\nthe new Middle East
\nthe Rice woman squeaks<\/p>\n

the dead lay in strange shapes<\/p>\n

little bodies
\nlittle bodies
\ntied head and feet
\nwrapped in plastic
\nlaid out in the street
\nthe new Middle East
\nthe Rice woman squeaks<\/p>\n

the dead lay in strange shapes<\/p>\n

Water to wine
\nwine to blood
\nahh Qana
\nthe miracle
\nis love<\/p>\n
