Good afternoon whomever reads this!
I've read through a much of Mizhar, why people are here, what their doing. The devastating history of Mizhar, the struggles of people, personal and physical alike. For those of you who know or have ever heard of Rise Against then many know some of their songs often have a similar portrayal of the theme of Mizhar. The song I've personally found to match this quite well is Prayer of the Refugee, its lyrics are quite accurate in its theme, if you don't believe me then here have a go!

Lyrics for those who do not wish to listen:
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.
Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,

We've been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you've known.
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won´t let me down, down, down!
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won´t let me down, down, down!
So open your eyes child,
Let's be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.
Keep quiet no longer,
We'll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we've lost,
And the lives we've reclaimed.
GO !
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my ...
