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
(pattern 2) x4
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
