LYRIC
LET MY PEOPLE GO- Sung & Composed by Mordechai Ben David- Let My People Go
Many years alone in his cell
awaiting redemption so faithfully,
a prisoner of conscience serving in hell
yearning for home, his destiny.
His commitment to heaven’s been made
that’s how he kept his sanity,
his religion never will fade
counting each day so anxiously.
He fought for his rights never did bend
his goals reviving energy,
his reward did come at the end
rejoice in his land in ecstasy.
CHORUS:
Yossi survived he’s free now
pleading to you and me now
always have in mind our brothers left behind
trapped in the iron curtain,
leading in demonstrations, firing inspiration.
Thousands shouting, no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
Thousands shouting, no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
He left behind a firm guarantee
alarming the world of the urgency,
it’s not a crime to wanna be free
to live in the world of democracy.
Nudel, Sharansky, and so many more
they need our support and our pressuring,
and so we plead like never before
to free them from hell and suffering.
The message is strong so loud and clear
why don’t they surrender with dignity,
we won’t leave a single soul there
so wake up and face reality.
CHORUS:
Yossi survived he’s free now
pleading to you and me now
always have in mind our brothers left behind
trapped in the iron curtain,
leading in demonstrations, firing inspiration.
Thousands shouting no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
Thousands shouting no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
Thousands shouting no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
Thousands shouting no! Let my people go!
Enough of your bluff and your hurtin’.
