Lyrics
The morning rays strike the place

Masada's heroes fought

Our tears swell for those who fell

Forever in our thoughts

Dreaming of some day at hand

When innocent blood no longer stains the sand

The glistening sea of the Galilee

Reflects the azure sky

Birds' sweet trill from Tzfas' hills

Echo as they fly

Dreaming of some future time

When joyful songs replace the siren cries

So with hope we lift our eyes to you, Jerusalem

G-d's grace will surely rise from you, Jerusalem

Though for thousands of years we've been scattered

In you our prayers are gathered

Near and far, any place we are, Jerusalem

So we take you in our heart and soul, Jerusalem

We will never ever let you go, Jerusalem

For all that we've had to endure, now

Israel'll be strong and secure now

G-d will help us through

Dreams do come true, Jerusalem

Machpela Cave given away

No more to hear our prayers

Walls cast gloom on Rochel's tomb

We still have much to fear

Dreaming of the perfect dawn

When new griefs no longer must be mourned

In her mountain coves, under olive groves

They long for time to spend

But the Golan Heights and border fights

Her young soldiers must defend

Dreaming of some coming day

When tools of war can be forever thrown away

So with hope we lift our eyes to you, Jerusalem

G-d's grace will surely rise from you, Jerusalem

Though for thousands of years we've been scattered

In you our prayers are gathered

From near and far, any place we are, Jerusalem

So we take you in our heart and soul, Jerusalem

We will never ever let you go, Jerusalem

For all that we've had to endure, now

Israel'll be strong and secure now

G-d will help us through

Dreams do come true, Jerusalem

The Kotel's stones hear the moans

Of desperate groups of Jews

We must unite in Israel's fight

We have so much to lose

Dreaming of a day to be

When we walk our land, together, proud and free!

So with hope we lift our eyes to you, Jerusalem

G-d's grace will surely rise from you, Jerusalem

Though for thousands of years we've been scattered

In you our prayers are gathered

So we turn to you, each and every Jew, Jerusalem

So we take you in our heart and soul, Jerusalem

We will never ever let you go, Jerusalem

For all that we've had to endure, now

Israel'll be strong and secure now

G-d will help us through

Dreams do come true, Jerusalem
