As the sounds disappear in the morning
A new day dawns for the legions on the run
The bloodshed over families and homes
Has made him one of the unfortunate ones
From the smoke and the ruins and the dead men
He stole everything worth carrying along
The minefields made it perfectly clear
He had no shield for trouble to come

His feet are tired, the way is long
With no idea where he belongs
If someone's there for him
For a new beginning
His tears have dried, the pain is gone
He left his heart when he left his home
Farewells to dear Jerusalem

So he treads in the glare of the morning
And, step by step, his weariness abates
Leaving there was not a mistake
But can he ever forget the violence and hate
Fighter planes reappear in the distance
Roaring towards and tearing up the sky
Get down or hide yourself, but don't run, run, run
Never run, run, run, hey

Fire arms to set him free
Oh, let him go, let him be
If you hear me
Come and lead him

Across the fields and open seas
Towards the unknown land of dreams
'Cause someone's there for him
With a new beginning
His wings are wide, the pain is gone
He left his tears on the Western Wall
Farewell, Jerusalem

If you hear me
Come and lead him

Home, oh
Jerusalem
(Across the fields and open seas
Towards the unknown land of dreams)
Jerusalem
(Across the fields and open seas
Towards the unknown land of dreams)
Jerusalem
(Across the fields and open seas
Towards the unknown land of dreams)
