Jerusalem

From the dusty tracks,

You danced with mystical delights.

The music drifting across, rolling dunes.

Opening up to your wonders.

Oh! Jerusalem,Jerusalem!

We the lost people; wondering

Amidst the dust; growing richness.

Against the radiant sun,

Following our camel trains.

While you wait for our return.

Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

The colours of our past.

Hang like jewels; radiant with pride.

We are not lost, for we have returned.

Home at last; hearts full.

Oh! Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Shalom!
