Avraham

sitting in the hot dessert sun // you’ve been told you’d be on the run // down
to egypt to pharaoh’s town // to rome and spain and many other lands // but you
opened your doors to tired men // to lonely passersby and angels from heaven //
your kindness and your care were known far and wide // father of a nation
your soul is alive. // avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?
// are we the shining stars you saw at night? // you know its true // we still
call you
avinu // our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside // take us home.
// you’ve been through every test now look a small shul in the mid west a
child was
born just the other day // and all those gathered there // heard his mother say
//although its been three thousand years and we’ve been fighting back all the
tears // one man’s lullaby // a nation will survive // father of our people
your dream is alive. // chorus // your courage and your might kept the pharaohs
up
at night // no hand could hold you // no stranger would forget you.
// avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of // and we’re the shining
stars you
saw at night // you know its true // it’s why we call you avinu // our father
our pride we’ve got your soul inside // take us home.
