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 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...
Israel... in Israel...
Israel... in Israel...
In Israel...
will they sing Happy Noel...
