So, I want to write a song. Not just any song though. A good song, about the war in Lebanon, and I want to get my feelings/oppinions/etc out and expressed through that.
The only problem is, with lyrics to a song, its more about showing, not telling, especially in a poetic way, of which I am not very good, at all. And like, I need help in expressing, through poetically showing, very complex feelings.

Like I want to both express my hope for peaceful coexistance with the arabs, yet my full support for the destruction of hezbollah. And I want it to sound good too.

I want it to be in English and Hebrew, and if any of you Arabic speakers (MM, Jiggity, and Kay, im looking at you) can give me any useful phrases other than Insha'allah (I already knew that one), that could be cool too.

Basically, I want it to be similar in style/poetry to David Broza's stuff. Heres one of his songs that he colaberated witha Palestinian musician on, that I really like as a good example of what I mean. Its called Belibi (In my heart).

Also, here is an example of another one of his songs I like, unfortunately its only the lyrics, but you get the idea. Its called "Mitachat L'Shamayim" (Under the Sky)

So. any help would be appreciated.
