Roots of Judaism Thick as the pillars Solid as the ancient stone Sempiternally grip as a testament To the growing nation Sixth century tradition These roots burgeon a tree We are leaves We fall Among dead legends like the millions before us We turn to dust The tree of Judaism remains The flag flies, the sun rises We stand in defiance Barbarically attacked Our tree pruned The roots of Judaism run deep Pray for the country, my country Pray for the nation, my nation Pray for the people, my people For I am Jewish and my roots run deep, I lie among legends Wreathed in tradition and community
