what will it take
shalom
for the rockets to stop
salaam
for the world to see
aleinu
we are so capable
od
of remaining
blind
yavo
deaf
shalom
to others
salaam
voices
on the
other side
od yavo
so near
shalom
so distant
salaam
what will it take
od
to see
yavo
the common thread
od
of our humanity
yavo
what will it take
shalom
to hear
salaam
to change
aleinu
to discard the hate
od yavo
now
od yavo shalom
no other way
salaam aleinu
what will it take
v'al kol ha'olam, salaam
(based on the popular Israeli-Arabic folksong, Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu by Mosh ben Ari)
