lyrics

LYRICS
Who gave you the light
That warms you and surrounds
You walk from here to there
Who gave you the ground
Who gave you the stars
To wish upon and dream
You aim your ship and sail
Who gave you the sea
Once you were afraid
A stranger in the town
Who gave you your hope
Who is calling now

CHORUS:
וַאֲהַבְתֶּם אֶת הַגֵּר
כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם
(Va’ahavtem et ha-geir
ki geirim heyitem)
Love the stranger
You were strangers
Love the stranger
You were strangers

Who gave you the breath
That lifts your voice to sing
You fall and rise again
Who gave you the wings
They’re just beyond the wall
The fall upon the shore
We can hear them knock
Who gave us the door

CHORUS

How easy it can be
To let the fear take hold
You were once set free
Remember we were told

Love the stranger
You were strangers
Love the stranger
You were strangers

וַאֲהַבְתֶּם אֶת הַגֵּר
כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם
(Va’ahavtem et ha-geir
ki geirim heyitem)
