I carry in my heart a dream / a flag of peace & a land redeemed but in my dream a wall of wire / stone & iron forged in fire on the wall a soldier stands / keeps us out of our own land borders tear us all apart / on the ground & in the heart while we all must learn to conquer hate, / what's a nation without a state? the land is holy, but for whom? / God of the star or the crescent moon? no one freely gives up power / we alone can take what's ours without freedom, without land / here in exile we do stand without justice, without peace / just a dream become a beast where will exile draw the line? / in Israel or Palestine?
nisht keyn tsedek, nisht keyn sholem nor a kholem gevorn a golem voser folk on a medina? say yisroel say palestina
