Open wounds where hearts once beat Wandering through a no man's land Oh we blossom and we fade but never die We never die Should we stand the desert heat And keep the name we can't forget But in the distance I heard a sound Childrens' voices singing loud they sang Under the Olive Tree we'll stand Under the branches of life we'll live Should I taste the bitter fruit To find my days are counted one by one But the gift from heaven was in my hand In my hand Down below we fall to the ground As prey for the deep where love can't be found But in the wind I heard them singing Voices high their hearts were riging Under the Olive Tree we'll stand
Under the branches of life we'll live Under the Olive Tree forever Take the road, the walk to freedom Under the Olive Tree we'll sing Under the branches of life we'll live We move we breath We laugh, we cry But all we know is under a shadow Down below we fall to the ground As prey for the deep where love can't be found But in the distance I heard a sound Childrens' voices singing loud they sang Under the Olive Tree we'll stand Under the branches of life we'll live Under the Olive Tree forever Take the road, the walk to freedom Under the Olive Tree we'll sing Under the branches of life we'll live
