Lyrics: Oh, the sun is hidin' Over the dark horizon No matter how long the night The day is sure to come (Arabic) Salaam, as-Salaam-Alaikum Salaam, as-Salaam-Alaikum Salaam, as-Salaam-Alaikum Salaam, as-Salaam-Alaikum Hoping for a storm to come Waiting for the river to rise Looking for a ladder to climb Waiting on the change of tides Hoping with a heart that’s broken Waiting for a door to open Listening for a song to sing Knowing that the heart is wise (Hebrew) Shalom, shalom aleichem Shalom, shalom aleichem Shalom, shalom aleichem Shalom, shalom aleichem Hope is a fragile thing It flies on broken wings There’s no dream so lost It can't be found again Oh don’t hold your silence Shout it louder than sirens Shout it louder than violence Rise on broken wings (Aramaic) Shlomo, shlomo 'alaykhu Shlomo, shlomo 'alaykhu Shlomo, shlomo 'alaykhu Shlomo, shlomo 'alaykhu Oh, the sun is hidin' Over the dark horizon No matter how long the night The day is sure to come
