Middle East

In my Promised Land
In the Middle East
What can we do about
Terrorism?

In my promised land
In the middle east
What can we do about
Fanaticism?

You and I on parallel lines
You and I, we are the key
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh

Desire for peace
Such yearning for peace
Does your country do
What you believe in?

In my land there is war
And we're losing our soul
And ideology is
Losing meaning

You and I on parallel lines
You and I, when can we meet?
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh oh

You and I on parallel lines
You and I, we are the key
Dreams are not enough
To lead and guide us
To peace
In the Middle East
WE E SA LAM?

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh oh

Flare lights, flowers, mothers, fathers
Home land, green fields and tears
Borders, river, desert, dead sea
We are the key
Flare lights, flowers, mothers, fathers
Home land, green fields and tears
Borders, river, desert, dead sea
When can we meet?

YE ROO SHA LA YM
YE ROO SHA LEM

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
In the Middle East
Oh oh oh oh
YE ROO SHA LEM
