AM YISRAEL CHAI

The People of Israel Live
The Nation of Israel Lives
In us
In all of us
We are wounded
We are in pain
But we live
And our people live
Those who try to destroy us
shall learn of their error
We shall fight
We shall survive
We shall mourn those lost
Help the injured and tortured to heal
In our faith and determination
our strength will grow
We shall bind up our nation's wounds
And we all shall heal
Am Yisrael Chai
Am Yisrael Chai
Am Yisrael Chai
AM YISRAEL CHAI!
