From the recording Jerusalem
JERUSALEM is an anthem of ancient roots and hopes of peace in the future. It is a song about the Jewish people's eternal connection to the Land of Israel based on history that stretches over thousands of years.
Lyrics
Yerushalayim
City of gold
The sunshine falls on your golden walls and your story gets told
From the river
To the sea
We pray for the day angels will say
Let us all be free
Nebuchadnezzar
The temple fell
Our bond to the land
From when time began
Is on every tell
Will you send us back to Egypt?
Or drive us in the sea?
Jerusalem calls
Rise up Judah and the Maccabees
Zion calls my name
Back to our land
Before the Romans came
And scattered us to the wind
From the corners of the earth...we begin:
To build a new world
From the darkest night
From river to sea
The future must be peace and light
Milk and honey
We rise again
Jerusalem calls from her golden walls
Peace in the hearts of men
