This is inspired by a traditional Jewish song often sung at Passover. I wrote my version after 9/11. There has always been evil in the world, and there will always be those who scoff at the idea that love and kindness will prevail.

lyrics

You knew how it was all along
Still you kept on
You knew how it was all along
Still you kept on
Dona, dona, dona
How they laugh with all their might
Love
Still you were right
Dona, dona, dona
There is proof in every tear
Love
This much is clear

A good man will fall in the road
So it is told
A good man will carry him home
So it is told
Dona, dona, dona
How they laugh with all their might
Love
It's alright
Dona, dona, dona
There is proof in every star
Love
What we are
Dona, Dona, Dona
How they laugh and always have
Love
What we have
