Why

Why must the nations say
Tell us where your G‑d’s today
Why must the nations say
You’re all alone and you were left astray
Aren’t we your children
In the land you promised Abraham
So why must your children cry, oh why?

It started long ago
With a little boy, only three years old
Abraham was his name
That You exist, he did proclaim
And as a gift You promised him
The land of Cnaan, to his children
To make a home, and to dwell
In this holy land of Israel

So why must your children die
Just because they love your gifts
And why must your children die
Shouldn’t they be on the top of your list
Aren’t we your children
In the land you promised Abraham
So why must your children die, oh why?

For two thousand years
Every Jew had the very same plan
That some day with G‑d’s help
We all will live in the Promised Land
Oh my dear G‑d
We need your help more than ever now
Come on, save the Jew
Show the world what you can do

Oh why…
