Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little orphans in the snow with nowhere to call their home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime to thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why their singing, singing
Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth turned bitter in its glass
[Verse 2]
Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
[Verse 3]
Shattered fragments of the past meet in veins of real stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects a scene of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and their were kings
Now hidden in disguise, cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your hearts alive with a song from inside
[Verse 4]
Even though we're all alone we are never on our own
When we're singing, singing
Ho, ho
[Verse 5]
There's a man who's looking in and he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing, singing
See some people shine with glee but their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening
[Verse 6]
In Israel will they sing "Happy Noel?"
In Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
In Israel will they sing "Happy Noel?"
[Verse 7]
(Israel)
