Israelite Songtext

von Bob Franke

Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Nobody suffers here another night

Say to paralyzed, take up your bed and walk.
Say to the silent, now raise your voice and talk.
Say to the blind, look up and find your sight.
Do not linger here, O Israelite.

Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Nobody suffers here another night

Heed not your sorrow, look forward to your hope.
Don't mourn for paradise, just take each day and cope.
Build up the future each day with your own hand,
Keep on walkin' to the Promised Land.

Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Nobody suffers here another night

Don't live in fear of the armies of the night,
Be of good courage. Look forward to the light.
Take up your rod and staff, and struggle for the right.
You will find your path, O Israelite.

Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Israelite, O Israelite
Nobody suffers here another night
