you've had your troubles israel
but you put the writing on the wall
you know i've seen you fall so many times
i've cried for you and that's a crime
where there's beautiful sand yeah
you know you got a kind of feeling
i like the smiles up on your people's faces
they make you feel warm embraces
and i want that kind of smile
israel you make the whole world think about you
and if they don't they'll find a reason
to shout about israel israel
you're the only one israel israel
oh take me into your arms
and make me feel your goodness
let me hold hold you to myself
israel oh take me back into into your arms
israel israel israel israel
