What Must We Do For Peace In The Middle East ~ Belly Dancers for Justice

V5.5

**[Intro – Upbeat Middle-Eastern Bluegrass groove]**  
**[Oud & Banjo duel, Darbuka + Cowbell driving the beat, Qanun sparkling]**  
**[Ethereal Female Vocals harmonizing with Male call]**

**Female (soft & heavenly):**  
What must we do… oh what must we do?

**Male (strong):**  
For peace in the Middle East!

**[Verse 1 – Fast Bluegrass feel with Middle Eastern flair]**  
**[Darbuka & Doumbek lock in, Banjo rolling, Saz & Baglama chopping]**

**Male Vocals (energetic, country yokel style):**  
Put down the guns, pick up the oud and the banjo,  
Sit in the circle, let the old hatred go.  
Share the same water from the Jordan and the Nile,  
Teach our children love instead of learning to fight.

**Female Vocals (dueling, bright):**  
Open the borders, let the music flow free,  
Trade olive oil for bluegrass honey, you and me.

**[Chorus – Big, anthemic, full band]**  
**[Dueling Banjos + Fiddles, Cowbell Extravaganza, Taiko hits, Layered Synths swell]**  
**[2-Girl Dueling Vocals + Hard-Hitting Male, Call & Answer]**

**All (big & upbeat):**  
What must we do for peace in the Middle East?  
Choose dialogue over fists, love over hate!  
What must we do for the whole wide world?  
Build bridges not walls, it’s never too late!

**Female 1 & 2 (heavenly layered):**  
Forgive the past…

**Male (powerful):**  
Embrace the future!

**All:**  
Sing it loud, let the whole world hear ya!

**[Verse 2]**  
**[Nay flute melody over Bluegrass rhythm, Riq & Tabla percussion, Electric Fiddle cutting through]**

**Female Vocals (sultry then soaring):**  
Educate the young ones, let empathy bloom,  
End the corruption, let justice resume.  
Women and men standing side by side,  
No more extremists, no more genocide.

**Male Vocals (call):**  
Plant olive trees where the bombs used to fall,  
Turn battlefields into the biggest music hall!

**[Chorus – Even bigger]**  
**[Full Cowbell Extravaganza, Dueling Banjos & Fiddles, African Drum Circle + Japanese Taiko energy]**

**All:**  
What must we do for peace in the Middle East?  
Choose dialogue over fists, love over hate!  
What must we do for the whole wide world?  
Build bridges not walls, it’s never too late!

**[Bridge – Psychedelic breakdown]**  
**[Didgeridoo + Bagpipes drone, Native American Flute, Scandinavian & Japanese Folk Chanting layered, Slow Darbuka build]**  
**[Group Call & Answer with African & Middle Eastern Tribal Chants]**

**Female Heavenly Choir:**  
Understanding… Compassion…

**Male & Group (chanting powerfully):**  
Cooperation… Education… Reconciliation!

**All (building):**  
No more blood for oil, no more tears for land,  
One human family, hand in hand!

**[Final Chorus – Explosive, celebratory]**  
**[Maximum energy: All instruments firing – Oud, Qanun, Banjo, Fiddle, Zurna, Cowbell chaos, Electric Violin shred]**  
**[2-Girl Dueling Vocals + Male Adlibs + Full Group]**

**All:**  
This is what we do for peace in the Middle East!  
We choose love, we choose peace, we refuse defeat!  
This is what we do for the whole wide world!  
One heart, one voice, one future unfurled!

**Male (yelling with yodel):**  
Pure LSD baby! Peace in the Middle East!

**Female (ethereal high):**  
Peace… for everyone…

**[Outro – Fade with groove]**  
**[Oud & Banjo trading licks, Darbuka + Cowbell riding out, Group humming]**

**All (soft then strong):**  
What must we do…?  
We choose peace...

[Relaxing mellow instrumental outro]
