Lyrics
Come let us sing the song of a city

Known for its beauty, splendor, and grace

Come let us find the words to describe her

She is not like, not like any other place

Yerushalayim, the place to live

Yerushalayim, harim saviv

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Yerushalayim, the sky so blue

Yerushalayim, we turn to you

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Walk down a street named for the tzaddik

Who lived by this very road

Step into a shul, you almost can hear

The words of the sages speaking the wisdom of old

Where else in this world can you find a wall

Whenever you touch it, it touches you

Reach for its stones, they're moist with the tears

Of our hopes and our dreams, that we know will soon come true

Yerushalayim, the place to live

Yerushalayim, harim saviv

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Yerushalayim, the sky so blue

Yerushalayim, we turn to you

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Dreams of

Past splendor

And whispers

Of glory

Your walls tell

Your story,

Your soul

Waiting so long

For the time when

Our tears will be stilled,

Our prayers fulfilled,

Our city rebuilt!

Join in the crowd rushing to shul

As the siren invites the queen

Shabbos has come bringing peace to each home

The city's at rest, the feeling is so serene

Travel the land, the mountains and valleys

There is a story behind each stone

But when you return, your heart will rejoice

As bruchim habaim appears and you know you’re home.

Yerushalayim, the place to live

Yerushalayim, harim saviv

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Yerushalayim, the sky so blue

Yerushalayim, we turn to you

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Yerushalayim, the place to live

Yerushalayim, harim saviv

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home

Yerushalayim, the sky so blue

Yerushalayim, we turn to you

Yerushalayim, ir shel shalom

Yerushalayim, we're going home
