YOSSI GREEN, CHANALEH FELLIG- HAREL
The heat slowly rises across the desert sand
Few are those who dare to go upon this arid land
The desert treasures of the deep how silently they lay
Gold and diamonds ever waiting to see the light of day
Hidden all around us
Are those diamonds pure and bright
But for those with eyes that truly see
The earth just cannot hide
Chorus:
We are all just like the earth
That hides it’s precious diamonds
Behind the eyes of each one you meet
Lies a shining silver lining
We’re all blessed with nothing less
Every Jew is a gem, oh yes!
And you do not tire when you’re counting diamonds
In the heart of each of them
It’s a sun-filled Sunday morning
She’s in the sunday dollars line
Standing for hours
Depleting her powers
Her strength has come and gone
After a while she is met with a smile
A face older and wiser
Astonished to see his energy
His youthfulness surprised her
For the thousands that he patiently greets
It’s their souls that he is mending
His blessing complete
With a dollar for each
His strength is never ending
(and he said)
Chorus
