Israel’s Rebirth Song by Amil Imani

Israel’s Rebirth

(Intro)

(Distant, mournful strings build tension)

(A lone voice soars, a cappella)
Thou didst wander for ages, a flame in the dark (x2)
Yearning for Zion, a spark

(Verse 1)

(Tempo picks up, drums and bass enter with a driving beat)

Millennia searching, a restless refrain (x2)
Exile’s cold grip, but thine spirit remained!
Through trials and battles, thine courage unfurled (x2)
The dream of returning, a fire in thine world!

(Chorus)

(Beat explodes, vocals rise and soar)

Israel, REBORN! A nation SET FREE!
From the ashes, THOU RISEST, for all the world to SEE!
Cyrus, the Unifier, a bridge he began (x2)
A friendship ignited, forever to span!

(Verse 2)

(Tempo changes, mid-tempo with a haunting melody)
Peace, a fleeting whisper, a solace denied (x2)
Oppression returned, etched deep in thine side.
The scars of the Holocaust, a wound that won’t mend (x2)
Six million lost brothers and sisters, a story that won’t end.

(Chorus)

(Beat builds again, vocals more powerful)
Israel, REBORN! A nation SET FREE!
From the ashes, THOU RISEST, for all the world to SEE!
Though danger surrounds thee, thine spirit ascends (x2)
For Jerusalem’s future, the fight never ends!

(Bridge)

(Tempo slows; piano and strings create a hopeful atmosphere)
We open our arms to the lost and the scared (x2)
Iranian Jews are finding refuge, and a promise has been declared.
Arabs and Baha’is all welcome to share (x2)
Equality blooming, erasing despair.

(Chorus)

(Full orchestral swell, vocals become a passionate roar)
Israel, REBORN! A nation SET FREE!
From the ashes, THOU RISEST, for all the world to SEE!
Jerusalem calling, a city reborn (x2)
A beacon of hope for a peaceful new morn!

(Outro)

(Tempo picks up, percussion becomes frenetic)
Next year in Jerusalem, the dream finds its place (x2)
A land of acceptance, with love and embrace!
Our voices united, a symphony grand (x2)

(Change back to first person plural.)
For freedom and justice, forever we stand!

(Finale)

(Vocals and instruments build to a triumphant crescendo, then fade)
