Israel lyrics

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 princesses and there were kings

Now hidden in disguise

Cheap wrappings of lies

Keep your heart alive

With a song from inside

Israel, in Israel

Israel, in Israel

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

In Israel, in Israel

In Israel

Will they sing Happy Noel
