Israel

Little orphans in the snow With nowhere to call a home Start their singing Waiting through the summertime To thaw your hearts in wintertime That's why they're singing... Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine The sweet taste in your mouth--turned bitter in its gla*s Israel...in Israel Israel...in Israel Shattered fragments of the past Meet in veins on the stained gla*s Like the lifeline in your palm Red and green reflects the scene Of a long forgotten dream There were princes and there were kings Now hidden in disguise--cheap wrappings of lies Keep your heart alive with a song from inside Even though we're all alone We are never on our own when we're singing There's a man who's looking in And he smiles a toothless grin Because he's singing... See some people shine with glee But their song is jealousy Their hate is clanging--maddening In Israel...will they sing Happy Noel Israel...in Israel Israel...in Israel In Israel will they sing Happy Noel
