Marika Straw (they/them) is a queer, Jewish, writer, singer-songwriter, and community organizer from Wallowa County, Oregon. Marika loves to weave music and social change work through endeavors such as an ethnomusicology project on drumming and social change in India, co-creating and leading a songwriting course at a women’s prison in North Carolina, and elevating queer stories through song.

This song is particularly sung with the people of Gaza in mind. May Palestine, and all her people, be free!

LYRICS:

We are dreaming of another world.
Help us build it, we can all go home. (x2)

Can we grieve the grief?
Can we learn again?
Can we let go of
a world that’s filled with pain? (x2)

We are dreaming of another world.
Help us build it, we can all go home. (x2)

We are dreaming of another world
Of a place where we can all be home.
