Never Again

Terror is the ever-scorching sun
In the fight for our existence
Uprooted
Cast aside as kindling
Scattered 'cross the nations
Sprouted forth
From the crags
Our seed
A diaspora

Replanted in the land we lost
Nearly vacant, but trod upon by swine
We'll sink our roots deep in this earth
A breast flowing rich with honey

There's no view from nowhere
And from the heights of Zion I can see

Thorns
In my side

Parasitic weeds
You infectious disease
We'll be the salt of the earth
Terror homegrown will wilt and see
We've tilled this desert sand before
Our claimed inheritance
Our eternal home

There's no view from nowhere
And from the heights of Zion I can see
The depths I'll go to find refuge

We've been pruned for greatness
The nagging guilt you sow will be blotted out
By the shade of our olive trees

We'll water this land with blood if it means we reap a future
If only to see our children bloom
I refuse to wither
Never again trod on
Never again uprooted
Never again trod on
Never again a victim
