Holy Land lyrics
All through time we’ve been killed because we are Jews
The world’s blind hatred of us is nothing new
For five thousand years we have wandered and we’ve roamed
We are here, we have nowhere else to go, nowhere else to go
This is the Holy Land
And this is our homeland
Promised to us by God above
We got here by crossing mountains and rivers of blood
Flowing with the blood of our people killed for being Jews
They had no land of their own to escape to
This is the Holy Land
And this is our homeland
This is our refuge, our shelter from the storm
Where we should all feel safe and warm
Just like any home should
It should be understood
This is the Holy Land
And this is our homeland
Yes, this is our homeland
The Holy Land, Holy Land, Holy Land
This place was once just desert and sand
We turned it into a lush green land
And this land we will defend, it is where we belong
We are no longer defenceless and weak, but we are now strong
We will defend our borders and defend our lives
When you attack our women and children with guns and knives
Like it has been all through time
As The Bible says, ‘Revenge is mine, revenge is mine’
We want you to leave us alone, to live in peace
When will your hatred for us ever cease?
Our tiny strip of land is surrounded by enemies
Who want to destroy us and throw us into the sea
This is the Holy Land
And this is our homeland
Yes, this is our homeland
The Holy Land, Holy Land, Holy Land
May peace come to your dark and troubled souls
May compassion and love for everyone, even us be all that you’ll know
May your blind hate and jealousy forever disappear
May that time of world harmony be forever near
That time of world harmony be forever near
Shalom from our homeland
Shalom, Shalom, Shalom from the Holy Land
Shalom from the Holy Land, Shalom from the Holy Land
Shalom from the Holy Land
