Little orphans in the snow With nowhere to call a home Start their singing, singing Waiting through the summertime To thaw your hearts in wintertime That's why they're singing, singing
Waiting for a sign To turn blood into wine The sweet taste in your mouth Turned bitter in its glass
Israel, in Israel Israel, in Israel
Shattered fragments of the past Meet in veins on the stained glass 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, singing
There's a man who's looking in And he smiles a toothless grin Because he's singing, singing See some people shine with glee But their song is jealousy Their hate is clanging, maddening
In Israel Will they sing Happy Noel In Israel, in Israel Israel, in Israel In Israel Will they sing Happy Noel
