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
We'en sholem
Sholem sholem
We'en es'salaam
Sholem sholem
We'en sholem
Salaam

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...
We'en es'salaam, 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...

When can we meet?

Yerushalaim, Yerushalem, Oh, oh, oh...

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