In a me country you are a child until the age of eighteen
A man one day because of the uniform in green
In a your hand dem a place a gun- M16
From youths to life we have army between
Separated from your roots and sent to war school
Are you a nation warrior?
Or just a meaningless tool?
For every simple action there is a complicated rule
To fight for peace seems a sentence of a fool
Tears of a Hebrew mother - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Loss of a Hebrew soldier - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Tears of a little sister - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Loss of a Hebrew soldier
Me know that our history demand it nowadays
A problematic situation ain't just a passing phase
I wonder to myself there must be lots of other ways
To live alongside neighbors not alongside graves
Oh. I remember when I left home
Full of wonders and fears for a trip of three years
The pictures of the families try hiding dem tears
They never came back again open your ears
Tears of a Hebrew mother - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Loss of a Hebrew soldier - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Tears of a little sister - the cry of a Hebrew nation
Loss of a Hebrew soldier

Now it's night time... quiet in a tent
A phone call home and another message sent
Final words and map direction
About the operation
Camouflage and arms begin the last steps of preparation
Before sunrise dem a leave After a night without no sleep
Towards the ancient village
Dem are four in a the jeep
And a gunshot heard
Explosion and a scream, smoke and fire
A pinch to leave the dream
But this a no dream, an everyday reality
We deal with Loss of our friends
And our relatives
We deal with memorial day, each day nah once a year
We a deal with
We haffi deal with what dem deal with
Sons of Israel will return home safe and well
Sons of Israel will return home safe and well
