This is the story
Of the Bird of the Wilderness
Lost in the shadows
Of a darkening sky
And of home not forgotten
And of promises broken
One summer night
And she's searching for the wise one
Who will strenghten her hands
And they say that he's waiting
By a river so grand
Yet not to be passed until
The end of time
Where are the dreams
And where are the prayers?
And human chains of orange
and all those who cared?
So can you see?
Do have prophecy?
Nothing Gets Lost My Friend
(and he said)
Sure as I sit here by the River Sambatyon
With her spite and her stones
And her relentless cry
That the prayers and the tears
And the circles of fire
The're alive on high
Angels building with heavenly stones
Made by the faith of those courageous ones
The prayers and the tears and the circles of fire
oh, oh
They're alive on high
Ki ratza avedecha et avaneha
V'et afara y'chonenu
(For) and soon we will see
That nothing gets lost my friend
This is the story...
about this song
hear the music
And she found him at the river
By the edge of sand
And with her eyes ablaze
And a yearning for her land
(she said)
Can you see?
Do you have prophecy?
