~~~ Lyrics ~~~
New Day Will Rise
And even if you say goodbye
You’ll never go away
You are the rainbow of my sky
My colours in the grey
My only wish upon a star
Sunshine in the day
The only song that my piano ever plays
And even if you say goodbye
You’ll always be around
To lift me up and take me high
Keep my feet close to the ground
Are you proud of me tonight
Dreams are coming true
I choose the light
Nothing to lose if I lose you
New day will rise
Life will go on
Everyone cries
Don’t cry alone
Darkness will fade
All the pain will go by
But we will stay
Even if you say goodbye
Et même si tu dis adieu
Tu ne partiras jamais
T’es l’arc-en-ciel de mon ciel bleu
Mes couleurs dans le gris
Et mon seul souhait sous un ciel d’art
Un rayon dans ma journée
La seule chanson que mon piano peut jouer
New day will rise
Life will go on
Everyone cries
Don’t cry alone
Darkness will fade
All the pain will go by
But we will stay
Even you say
New day will rise
Life will go on
Everyone cries
Don’t cry alone
Darkness will fade
All the pain will go by
But you will stay
The love of my life
מים רבים
לא יכבו
את האהבה
ונהרות לא ישטפוה
New day will rise
Everyone cries
Don’t cry alone
Darkness will fade
All the pain will go by
But we will stay
Even if you say goodbye
A new day will rise.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWATbb79IYc

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned."
Wow. what a song. Hope they win.

Kind of cheating when you use G-d as the source material for your song, lol.
Gaza has been a thorn in Israel’s side for thousands of years. I recently read of the prophecies against Gaza and the Philistines in Jeremiah again.
Jeremiah 47
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh struck down Gaza. 2This is what the LORD says:
“See how the waters are rising from the north
and becoming an overflowing torrent.
They will overflow the land and its fullness,
the cities and their inhabitants.
The people will cry out,
and all who dwell in the land will wail
3at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions,
the rumbling of chariots,
and the clatter of their wheels.
The fathers will not turn back for their sons;
their hands will hang limp.
4For the day has come
to destroy all the Philistines,
to cut off from Tyre and Sidon
every remaining ally.
Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines,
the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.a
5The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning;
Ashkelon will be silenced.
O remnant of their valley,b
how long will you gash yourself?
6‘Alas, O sword of the LORD,
how long until you rest?
Return to your sheath;
cease and be still!’
7How can it rest
when the LORD has commanded it?
He has appointed it against Ashkelon
and the shore of its coastland.”
