beofen goref yesh dea shesoveret
There is a broadly held view
hayekum mitrachev kanire zot-omeret
That the universe is expanding — which apparently means
sheefshar lehatchil basefira leachor
You can start counting backwards
mimeyla nishavim el hachor hashachor
Anyway we are being pulled toward the black hole
uvtzura nekudatit mamshichim hamumchim
And experts continue in a precise manner
belashon metzuchtzachat vesavar panim
With polished tongue and pleasant faces
deaga amitit shenikach becheshbon
A genuine concern to take into account
hitlakechut rabati bamizrach hatichon
A great conflagration in the Middle East
et mas hashalom neshalem beribit
The toll of peace we'll pay with interest
lo notar lanu al mi lismoch ela
We have no one left to rely on but
al artzot hatimtum vehaberit
The nations of stupidity and the covenant
shehufra nishkecha nishbera
That was violated, forgotten, broken
vehael mitbonen rak ki eyn lo berera
And God watches only because He has no choice
tze mitoch haseret
Step out of the movie
im hakeli shavur eyn emuna
If the vessel is broken there is no faith
vekal yoter lehadbik ulchaber
And it's easier to bind and connect
im nitan ketzat ahava
If we give a little love
vegam karati reayon im ish harucha shenizon
And I also read an interview with the man of spirit who subsists
mehasefarim shehu kotev al hasichsuch beton nokev
On the books he writes about the conflict in a cutting tone
al yachasey kochot shavim , al zaakat hamedukaim
About equal power relations, about the cry of the oppressed
veal eych od esrim shana kevar lo tihye kan medina
And how in another twenty years there won't be a state here anymore
veod echad achmadniga'd shemeayem sheod tirad haadama
And another Ahmadinejad threatens the earth will yet tremble
vehu yimchok et hauma bilchitzat kaftor temima
And he will erase the nation with the press of an innocent button
veyavi et hasof hamar el mekomo beshalom
And bring the bitter end to its place in peace
aval ani omer
But I say
tzeu mitoch haseret
Step out of the movie
hakeli shavur eyn emuna
The vessel is broken, there is no faith
vekal yoter lehadbik ulchaber
And it's easier to bind and connect
im nitan ketzat ahava
If we give a little love
vegam etzlenu bashechuna yesh isha shemitkasheret
And even in our neighborhood there's a woman who communicates
im ruchot shelo roim baayin veze ma shehi omeret
With spirits that can't be seen by the eye and this is what she says
baidan hechadash hofech harov lemiut haerev rav hamizdanev
In the new age the majority becomes the minority, the mixed multitude trailing behind
vehaish hapashut mekitz mishibud todato hamenumnemet
And the simple man awakens from the slavery of his drowsy consciousness
umitorer lametziut shehi et atzmah cholemet
And wakes to a reality that is itself dreaming
veaf al pi velamrot sheze nishma amiti
And although and in spite of this sounding real
et hasheker haba hayiti chayav lehamtzi
The next lie I was compelled to invent
beli lechapes od terutz o leshached besiba
Without searching for another excuse or bribing with a reason
lishkocha ma sheomrim verak latet ahava
To forget what they say and only give love
velatzet mitoch haseret
And step out of the movie
im hakeli shavur eyn emuna
If the vessel is broken there is no faith
vekal yoter lehadbik ulchaber
And it's easier to bind and connect
im nitan ketzat ahava
If we give a little love
bou nitan ketzat ahava
Come let us give a little love
