Greater love hath no woman than this That she gives her life for her friends! Farewell brave girl, Your loss is pain I write this now, to preserve your name A life cut short by brutal death A living soul, crushed in the earth Rachel, I sure call you brave You gave your life, A home to save We did not meet, dead friend of mine Who gave her life in Palestine What child of yours we'll never see Your child unborn for liberty My tears will go, but not your name Your courage shone, and so your fame Farewell now, brave Rachel Your name will not be forgotten Rachel Corrie, aged 23, was killed by the driver of an Israeli Army bulldozer in Rafah, Occupied Palestine 16th March 2003 while attempting to prevent the war crime of the destruction of a Palestinian home. |
