The Lilac Time Lyrics
"Let Our Land Be The One"

Are there trees in your street
Is there grass beneath your feet ?
Let our land be the one
Does the tap at your sink
Give you water fit to drink ?
Let our land be the one

Do your arms welcome our friends
Are our passports valid ?
The dreams we had, Jerusalem
Awake now empty handed
And with the wealth to guarantee
A healthy life for all
Why not prove we have the grace
To catch the ones who fall

Oh woh hey hey
Let our land be the one

Do we offer peace of mind
Are we helpful to our blind ?
Let our land be the one
Where kids are safe out in the park
And she can walk out after dark
Let our land be the one

The city street the market square
Should offer little danger
To friend or foe with silver spoon
Or traveller and stranger
Should every drop of water yet
Be forced to make a profit
And while others still poison the earth
Let us be the first to stop it

Oh woh hey hey
Let our land be the one
Oh woh hey hey
Let our land be the one
