Lyrics:
On the road five thousand years
You'd think we'd seen it all by now
Wait and see, the best is on its way
Slavery to victory, we always see it through somehow
We are one, we are free
We can shape our destiny
Am Yisrael chai, am yisrael chai
Am Yisrael chai, od avinu chai
Carry on the holy book, you'd think we'd read it all by now
Can it be there's always more to learn
Older than we can imagine, yet it still makes sense somehow
We are strong, we are proud
It feels good to sing out loud
Am Yisrael chai...
Mother to daughter, father to son
A different meaning to everyone
Passing the wisdom down from hand to hand
