LYRIC
OH THE WORLD- Ohr Chodosh/Country Yossi- Composed By Yossi Toiv- Ohr Chodosh 1/These I Remember
Oh, the world
In its blind and shallow thought
Is often caught
In the web of sin.
Midst the din
And the thunder of the music
There are tears
That flow within.
The hallowed rooms where we pray
As we cry throughout the day,
Hashem echad ushemo echad.
CHORUS:
The Navi cried
The Navi died
But his words live on
A thousand nations
With populations
That were deaf are gone
They are long since gone.
Oh, the smiles
Of amusement and the scorn
That we hear
That we must bear.
Through the fear
And the sacred star of David on our arms
That we must wear.
Oh, through a thousand persecutions
And a million executions
Hashem echad ushemo echad.
CHORUS:
The Navi cried
The Navi died
But his words live on
A thousand nations
With populations
That were deaf are gone
They are long since gone.
Hear these words
Oh, the one and only Lord
Has been ignored
To blasphemy,
Look and see
How the nations since creation battle on
So endlessly.
Oh, forever though it be,
We’ll cry and all will see,
Hashem echad ushemo echad.
CHORUS:
The Navi cried
The Navi died
But his words live on
A thousand nations
With populations
That were deaf are gone
They are long since gone.
