Lyrics:
Open the gates of justice, open the gates for me
Open the gates of righteousness, pitchu li
Open the gates of freedom, yes, we've traveled oh so far
Chorus: Pitchu li sha-arei tzedek, avo vam odeh Yah (2x)
Lock up the gates of hatred, throw away the key
Open the gates of righteousness, pitchu li
Open the gates of tomorrow, what are we waiting for?
Chorus:
Even ma-asu habonim, haytah l'rosh pinah
Even ma-asu habonim, haytah l'rosh pinah
We're all in this together; we've got to keep on going
'Til the stone that the builders rejected becomes the chief cornerstone
'Til the stone that the builders rejected becomes the chief cornerstone
Open the gates of justice, open the gates for me
Open the gates of righteousness, pitchu li
Open the gates of freedom, yes, we've traveled oh so far
Chorus
