BEEN A LONG TIME- 8th Day- Composed by Shmuli Marcus- Brooklyn

VERSE 1:
It’s been a long time
Since I watered your roses
It’s been a long time
Since I spoke of Moses,
It’s been a long time
Since I flew to ya
It’s been a long time
Since I said Halelukah.

But does that make me
Not your soldier,
Don’t I have your golden gun?
…Am I not your son.

It’s been a long time
Since I rode in your limo
It’s been a long time
Since I drank with Pinto,
It’s been a long time
Since I sang to ya
It’s been a long time
Since I said Halelukah.

But does that make me
Not your brother,
Don’t I have your very blood?
…Am I no more fun?

CHORUS 1:
If you believe
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So let your heart lead
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.
If your phone rings
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So get up and sing
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.

And if you believe
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So let your heart lead
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.
If your phone rings
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So get up and sing
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.

VERSE 2:
It’s been a long time
Since I watered your roses
It’s been a long time
Since I spoke of Moses
It’s been a long time
Since I flew to ya
It’s been a long time
Since I said Halelukah.

But does that make me
Not your soldier,
Don’t I have your golden gun?
…Am I number one?

CHORUS 2:
If you believe
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So let your heart lead
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.
If your phone rings
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So get up and sing
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.

And if you believe
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So let your heart lead
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.
If your phone rings
It’s Am Yisrael Chai
So get up and sing
‘Cause Am Yisrael Chai.
