Baruch Levine - Tour of Yerushalayim lyrics

Come, my dear brother - let's take a walk. A journey of sorts, we will learn, we will talk About where we come from, and who we can be – Of our fathers and mothers, it's our family. Let us sight-see our homeland, the place we were born – The land we were given, where we're never forlorn. An excursion to cherish, let your heart open wide – And discover the beauty that's hidden inside. It's our home, Yerushalayim, its where we belong – Yes our home, Yerushalayim, we've known you so long! Your hills and your valleys, a place for each Jew – We pray and ask Hashem, won't You build it anew! Im eshkochaych Yerushalayim, we'll never forget – Your kedusha and warmth, we will always protect. Uvnei osah bekarov, its glory restore – Please, we beg of You, won't You build it once more! The graves of tzaddikim, the tombs of our past Breathtaking vistas and landscapes so vast Children in cheder, their voices so pure Roadways and alleys divinely secure. There's the Tower of Dovid, our leader our king – His Tehillim is timeless, its words we all sing. Every step that you take, every corner you turn Is filled with kedusha and lessons to learn. It's our home, Yerushalayim, its where we belong – Yes our home, Yerushalayim, we've known you so long! Your hills and your valleys, a place for each Jew – We pray and ask Hashem, won't You build it anew! Im eshkochaych Yerushalayim, we'll never forget – Your kedusha and warmth, we will always protect. Uvnei osah bekarov, its glory restore – Please we beg of You, won't You build it once more! The stones of the Kosel, the secrets they keep – Generations of Yidden come pray and come weep. The cracks seem eternal, but soon we won't cry – We'll rebuild it together, my brother and I. It's our home... Im eshkochaych...
