At Rabin's grave we sang the song he sang just before he died:
Let the sun rise and the morning shine, the finest of prayers cannot bring us back. He whose flame has been put out, who's buried in the ground; no bitter wails will wake him. No one will bring us back from the dark of the grave; here, neither joy of victory, nor songs to the brave help.
Just sing a song to peace, don't whisper prayers. Better, sing a song to peace -- shout it out loud!
Raise your eyes in hope, not through the sights of a gun; sing a song to love and not to victories, Don't say a day will come, go bring that day, for it's not a dream. In all the streets and squares, just shout for peace.
(Ya'akov Rotblit & Ya'ir Rosenblum)
We then put pebbles we had brought with us from San Diego on his grave.
