Tikvah

I saw how many of them went
further than they should
friends separated, houses shattered
tears of families spilled

People's buds, flowers that didn't bloom
our hope in our heads, love in our souls
the dream in our spirits will continue on our path

We'll whisper to the silence, the sounds of war again
is there still a soldier wrapped in a flag? in the country's flag
blood and tears are absorbed into the ground
Still, with its blemish, it remains only a picture
our hope in our hearts is not weak, if strong, it won't be suppressed
for a son who wasn't born to a whore to imprison Israel

Give me hope to accept what isn't
the strength to change what is

Come, let's continue life before us
not late because tomorrow is a new day
dream will rise if we lose hope
then they'll extend a hand to love

You promised a dove, in the sky there's an eagle
my brother, a vulture, a bad serpent, this isn't the shadow of an olive tree
life in a dream, all talk about peace
but they shoot, stab, pull, push, oppress

in a world of conflicts, innocent victims still speak
life in the shadow of justice
they spread in them justice

Overcome daily challenges to survive
not wanting to live to fight
endure to live
plant hope, rooting roots
shield in the body on the dream
that won't break into pieces
enough, filling with pain enough with sorrow
the earth's yearning is not pleasant, and why?

Give me a little hope to accept what isn't
the strength to change what is

Come, let's continue life before us
not late because tomorrow is a new day
dream will rise if we lose hope
then they'll extend a hand to love

God, give me a little hope to accept what isn't
the courage to try to fix the world

Come, let's continue life before us
not late because tomorrow is a new day
dream will rise if we lose hope
then they'll extend a hand to love

God, give me a little hope to accept what isn't
Give me the strength to change what is
the courage to try to fix the world

Come, let's continue life before us
not late because tomorrow is a new day
dream will rise if we lose hope
then they'll extend a hand to love
