A Song To Peace.

Lyrics: Yaacov Rotblit
Music: Yair Rosenblum

Let the sun rise
And give the morning light,
The purest prayer
Will not bring us back.

He whose candle was snuffed out,
He’s buried in the dust,
A bitter cry won't wake him
And won't bring him back.

Nobody will return us
From the dead dark pit,
Here - neither the victory cheer
Nor songs of praise will help.

Refrain:
So - only sing a song for peace,
Do not whisper a prayer.
You'd better sing a song for peace
With a big shout.

Let the sun penetrate
Through the flowers,
Do not look backward
Leave those who departed.

Lift your eyes with hope,
Not through the rifle sights.
Sing a song for love,
And not for wars.

Don't say that the day will come,
Bring the day because

It’s not a dream,
And in all the city's squares, cheer only peace.

Refrain:
So - only sing a song for peace,
Do not whisper a prayer.
You’d better sing a song for peace
With a big shout.
