GOOD BOY OF JERUSALEM
THE KOTEL (WESTERN WALL) in Jerusalem
Hyssop, stone and bird
Have I seen in Jerusalem.
Through these vistas shall I pass
Held enthralled by Jerusalem,
Held by Jerusalem.
Chorus:
Tower, Kotel and wall
Enfold me live, “Come to me,” they call,
“O good child from Jerusalem,
Welcome home from Mount Nevo.
Take off your shoes
In presence of the King of Glory.”
Flute, harp and violin
Have I heard in Jerusalem.
Through their strains shall I pass,
In a song of Jerusalem,
A song of Jerusalem.
Chorus:
Grape, blood and purest honey
Have I tasted in Jerusalem.
Through their sweetness shall I pass,
In the nectar of Jerusalem,
Nectar of Jerusalem.
Chorus:
Complete song version only:
Lily, frankincense and myrrh
Have I inhaled in Jerusalem.
Through their aromas shall I pass,
In pledge to Jerusalem,
Pledge to Jerusalem.
Chorus:
Dance version:
Dust, water, fire and light
Have I touched in Jerusalem.
Between them shall I pass,
In the fire of Jerusalem,
Fire of Jerusalem.
