You’ve had your troubles,
Israel, I’ve seen them all,
but you put the writing on the wall,
Israel, Israel, yeah.
You know I’ve seen you fall so many times.
I’ve cried for you and that’s a crime.
Israel, Israel,
let me,
Israel,
where there’s sand,
where there’s beautiful sand, yeah.
Israel,
you know you got a kind of feeling
that’s just grand.
Take me into your arms,
let me be with you,
Israel, Israel, Israel.
I like the smiles up on your people’s faces.
They make you feel warm embraces.
And I want that kind of smile,
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.
Israel,
tell me all about it.
Tell me all about it.
Israel,
tell me all about it.
Oh Israel, take me into your arms
and make me feel your goodness.
Be with me Israel.
Hey hey hey hey.
Israel
Oh oh oh
Israel
Oh oh oh
Israel
Oh Take me into your arms.
Let me hold hold you to myself.
Oh I want to Israel.
Israel
Oh
Israel
Oh
Israel
Oh take me back into into your arms.
Israel Israel Israel Israel.
Ah
Israel, Israel.
I wanna hear about.
