My People

Lazer Lloyd, an Israeli guitarist and singer/songwriter, wrote a song entitled "Ha'am Sheli" (meaning "My People" or "My Nation" in Hebrew) in response to the frictions and tensions between different groups of Jews - especially in Israel.
 Lazer explains, "Before the Jewish people make peace with the world we first have to learn to love each other with all of our differences while not forgetting the unbelievable place of the Jewish people in the history of the world".

Here is the translation... Enjoy:
My nation, so big so small.
My nation, so new so old.
My nation, such suffering such patience.
My nation, that's my nation.

My nation, a people full of love.
My nation, a nation of heart and soul.
My people, really a special destiny.
My nation, that's my nation.

My nation, I love each and every one.
My nation, don't be afraid you're not alone.
My nation, a nation of people of miracles and hope.
My nation, that's my nation.
There isn't any other like them.

My people, so happy and smart.
My people, merciful and persistent.
My people of pure and simple faith.
My people, this is my people.

My people, heroes each and every one.
My people, the center of the world.
My people, together all the time.
My people, this is my people.
There isn't any other like them.

My people, there is a future if there is a past.
My people, sometimes there is song sometimes pain.
My people, maybe the time has come.
My people, this is my people.
There isn't any other like my people.
