Od imah hamumah, nish'arah lah rak tmunah,

HOPE

I saw how many they went
Too many of them did not return
Friends separated, houses broken,
tears of families spilled
buds of people flowers that didn't flower
the hope in our heads, the love in our hearts, the dream in our spirits so we continue in our path.

The silence has disappeared for it, again sounds of war
another soldier returns, wrapped in what? In the flag of the country, blood and tears absorbed by the land
and another shocked mother is left with just a picture
the hope is locked in the heart, the strong nation will not fold over, 'cuz the s.o.b. that can stop Israel has not been born.

Give me the hope to accept what there isn't
the strength to change what there is.

Let's continue, our life is in front of us
it's not late because tomorrow is a new day
the dream will perish if we lose the hope
so reach out to love.

You promised a dove, in the sky there's a hawk
brother, poisonous twig pricks, this is not an olive branch
living in a dream, everybody talks about peace
but they shoot, oppress, pull, squeeze the trigger
In a world of suicide attacks, the people are still talking
living in an illusion of righteousness,
they widen the rift in the nation.

I go through madness every day in order to survive
don't want to live in order to fight,
sub fights in order to live
plant hope, sends out roots
shield in my body for the dream
so it won't be shattered to splinters
enough, enough with the hurt, enough with the tears
a year that the land bleeds not sleeping and why?

Give me the hope to accept what there isn't
the strength to change what there is.

Let's continue, our life is in front of us
it's not late because tomorrow is a new day
the dream will perish if we lose the hope
so reach out to love

G-d, give me the hope to accept what there isn't
give me the courage to try to fix the world.

Let's continue, our life is in front of us
it's not late because tomorrow is a new day
the dream will perish if we lose the hope
so reach out to love

G-d, give me the hope to accept what there isn't
Give me the strength to change what is
Give me the courage to try to fix the world.

Let's continue, our life is in front of us
It's not late because tomorrow is a new day
The dream will perish if we lose the hope
So reach out to love.
