Dancing in Jerusalem HTM Songtext
von Sam Glaser

God will fulfill your heart′s desire
Take you to the place you want to go
Keep dreaming of the land of your history
And you'll walk in the streets before you know
On wings of eagles they took to the sky
Not sure how this magic carpet would fly
Then cries of joy at the first shalom
Fifty thousand Yemenites coming home

My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem


Next came Ezra and Nehemiah
Redeeming our brothers of Babylon
Two thousand years in the shook of Baghdad
Soon every last soul would come along
Though it seemed impossible to achieve
Morocco′s Jews were the next to leave
Every pillar of the Temple of Solomon
Hear the sound of the French ringing through Zion

My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem

Soon we'll be dancing in Jerusalem
The whole world dancing in Jerusalem
B'Yerushalayim ircha b′rachamim tashuv
Ve′etishkon b'etochcha asher tiparta

Beta Israel watched in awe
From the tribe of Dan in Ethiopia
Slipping through the border of the Sudan
They crossed the desert to reach their land
We marched for the rights of refused Niquim
To help them realize their Aliyah dream
After seventy years of a living hell
See the celebration when that curtain fell


My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem
My heart is dancing in Jerusalem

Soon we′ll be dancing in Jerusalem
The whole world dancing in Jerusalem
Your heart is dancing in Jerusalem
Time to come home to Jerusalem
