[00:01.291]Young Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay) was only 18 years old,
[00:18.792]He was the youngest of nine children, never spent a night away from home.
[00:27.544]And his mother held his photograph, opening the New York Times
[00:36.035]To see the killing has intensified along the road to peace
[00:44.803]
[00:45.796]There was a tall, thin boy with a whispy moustache disguised as an orthodox Jew
[00:56.294]On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War Two
[01:04.797]And the thunderous explosion blew out windows 200 yards away
[01:13.789]With more retribution and seventeen dead along the road to peace
[01:22.047]
[01:23.545]Now at King George Ave and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14a
[01:33.796]In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay)
[01:42.793]And the last thing that he said on earth is "God is great and God is good"
[01:51.035]And he blew them all to kingdom come upon the road to peace
[01:59.787]
[02:02.548]Now in response to this another kiss of death was visited upon
[02:15.287]Yasser Taha, Israel says is an Hamas senior militant
[02:24.543]And Israel sent four choppers in, flames engulfed, tears wide open
[02:32.783]And it killed his wife and his three year old child leaving only blackened skeletons
[02:42.292]
[02:46.286]It's found his toddlers bottle and a pair of small shoes and they waved them in front of the cameras
[02:55.053]But Israel says they did not know that his wife and child were in the car
[03:03.050]There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV
[03:12.293]Neither side will ever give up their smallest right along the road to peace
[03:25.284]
[03:25.540]Israel launched it's latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday
[03:32.057]Two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers
[03:40.555]So thousands dead and wounded on both sides most of them middle eastern civilians
[03:49.538]They fill the children full of hate to fight an old man's war and die upon the road to peace
[03:57.541]
[03:58.297]"And this is our land we will fight with all our force" say the Palastinians and the Jews
[04:08.291]Each side will cut off the hand of anyone who tries to stop the resistance
[04:17.296]If the right eye offends thee then you must pluck it out
[04:25.541]And Mahmoud Abbas said Sharon had been lost out along the road to peace
[04:35.539]
[04:37.533]Once Kissinger said "we have no friends, America only has interests"
[04:45.536]Now our president wants to be seen as a hero and he's hungry for re-election
[04:54.286]But Bush is reluctant to risk his future in the fear of his political failures
[05:03.547]So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press 10,000 miles from the road to peace
[05:11.053]
[05:19.539]In the video that they found at the home of Abdel Mahdi (Shahmay)
[05:26.794]He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a voice like a boy
[05:35.292]He was an excellent student, he studied so hard, it was as if he had a future
[05:44.041]He told his mother that he had a test that day out along the road to peace
[05:52.046]
[05:53.288]The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
[06:04.554]But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army with guns and tanks and bullets?
[06:13.539]And if God is great and God is good why can't he change the hearts of men?
[06:21.790]Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
[06:27.552]Maybe God himself he needs all of our help
[06:31.537]Maybe God himself is lost and needs help
[06:35.298]He's out upon the road to peace
[06:39.789]
[06:40.556]Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
[06:44.047]Maybe God himself he needs all of our help
[06:48.284]And he's lost upon the road to peace
[06:52.302]And he's lost upon the road to peace
[06:56.042]Out upon the road to peace.
