MIDDLE EAST

In my Promised Land
In the Middle East
What will we do about terrorism?
In my Promised Land
In the Middle East
What can we do about fanaticism?
You and I on parallel lines
You and I, we are the key
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...
Desire for peace
Such yearning for peace
Does your country do
What you believe in?
In my Land there is war
And we're losing our soul
And ideology
Is losing meaning
You and I on parallel lines
You and I, when can we meet?
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...

SHOLEM SHOLEM
WEEN SHOLEM
SHOLEM SHOLEM
WEN ESSALAM
SHOLEM SHOLEM
WEEN SHOLEM
SALAM

You and I on parallel lines
You and I, we are the key
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...
WEN ESSALAM?
Oh, oh, oh...
In the Middle East

Flare lights, flowers, mothers, fathers,
Homeland, green fields and tears
Borders, rivers, desert, Dead Sea
We are the key
Flare lights, flowers, mothers, fathers,
Homeland, green fields and tears
Borders, rivers, desert, Dead Sea
When can we meet?

YERUSHALAYM
YERUSHALEM
Oh, oh, oh...
In the Middle East
Oh, oh, oh...
In the Middle East


KADDISH

For salvation, Kaddish,
For redemption, Kaddish,
For forgiveness, Kaddish,
For health, Kaddish,
For all the wars victims, Kaddish,
For all the holocaust victims, Kaddish

-M'YITEN SHAMA'I KERI'OH
HAMAH GURAH V'HAMAYM KA LI RETOH
HA SAMOVIM RACHU'AH
HAMAH HAREH 'AL KAH TERU'AH-

Why do I cry at night?
Why do I feel so bad?
Something holds me tight
It's something in the air.

I have a prayer, a prayer,
A prayer from my heart
Night after night after daylight,
Memories of home...

FATAMORGANA
(MIRAGE)

Fire on the sky
Colors flying through her mind
Desert touch the sky
Here at the place where she will die
She is looking far far away
It seems there's no escape
From a prison without bars
Only to follow the bright star
She's running all the way
Fatamorgana
Only yesterday
Fatamorgana
A little girl, a little girl
Longing for her mother's world
She was just a little girl
Fatamorgana
Ah, ah, ah, ah
YUMAH YAH YUMAH
MIN DALAM'NIK
MIN DALAM
YUMAH YAH YUMAH
MIN DALAM'NIK
MIN DALAM
KOL HAYATIK
YA'AHYAH
HOMIYAH
Ho mirage
She's running all the way
Fatamorgana
only only yesterday
Fatamorgana
A little girl, a little girl
Longing for her mother's world
I was just a little girl
Fatamorgana
A little girl, a little girl
Longing for her mother's world
I was just a little girl
Fatamorgana
Mama
Ah...ah...ah...ah...Mirage
AHYAH YUMAH
Ah...ah...Mirage...

YA BA YE

YA BI NA YA!...
Tell me why
Tell me why
You run?
My mother's always told me
YA BINTI
Don't forget
MIN FAIN IN-TI
Remember who you are
Listen to the voice
That plays in your head
Make the right choice
Tell me why
Tell me why
YA BI NA YA
Tell me why
Tell me why
You run?
My mother says, my mother says
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Tell me why
Tell me why
You run?
I had to see it my way
'Cause life is very short
The more I try to learn
The less I seem to know
Oh - I cry in my bed
Ye... I miss my home
The home I can't forget
I hear my mother's voice
Tell me why
Tell me why
YA BI NA YA
Tell me why
Tell me why
You cry?
My mother says, my mother says
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Don't run away
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Tell me why
Tell me why
YA BI NA YA
Tell me why
Tell me why
You run?
My mother says, my mother says
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Tell me why
Tell me why
YA BI NA YA
Don't run away
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Tell me why
Tell me why
You cry?
Don't run away
YA BA YE, YA BA YE
Don't run away
Tell me why
Tell me why
You run?


WISH ME LUCK

BALAGAN, BALAGAN
When I'm losing patience
So hard to smile
Come and sit with me together
You are the one
All the weekdays are over
I worked so hard
All the weekdays are over
I feel so down
What will be tomorrow
AHAWE AHAWE
Happiness or sorrow
AHAWE AHAWE
Who will open up my door
AHAWE AHAWE
INSHALLAH
Wish me luck
Wish me luck
ASHMA'OH MAYADA BERU KOL HAYOM

AHAWE AHAWE
Happiness or sorrow
AHAWE AHAWE
Who will open up my door
AHAWE AHAWE

Wish me luck
