Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We drink our fill from foreign waters Turning nickels into dimes Sweeping cobwebs from the corners Living life by killing time Long ago we had a country Given to us, not a doubt All we were asked was to remember But our memory ran out Night comes down on Sleepytown In our hearts we feel the yearning Walking home, laying down Yerushalayim we are returning At the mercy of the nations Beneath the shade of their trees Till we've overstayed our welcome They remind us where we should be Night comes down on Sleepytown In our hearts we feel the yearning Walking home, laying down Yerushalayim we are returning Sleepytown is not my home I know that I can't stay Years in thousands come and gone Won't You bring us home today Since the word of creation Wheels in motion brought us here Days are coming for our nation We need redemption now and here Sleepytown is coming round Stretching arms up to the sky Day is here, come dry your tears Slumber slipping from our eyes
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
