"PHOENIX"

Verse 1
There's a long stifled cry in these timeless lands
There's a dream in these olive covered hills
There's a tear mingled prayer rising from uplifted hands
Buried hopes that yearn to be fulfilled.

Chorus 1
But the Phoenix shall rise from the ashes of the night
And sail into the waiting sky,
And the long promised dawn shall shed its golden light
Upon the hills of Palestine.

Verse 2
In a child's pleading eyes that long for days of peace
There's a faith whose fires have dwindled low,
But the promise that all oppression's power shall cease
And in freedom the little ones shall grow.

Chorus 2
And the Phoenix shall rise from the ashes of the night
And sail into the waiting sky,
And the long promised dawn shall shed its golden light
Upon the hills of Palestine.
Let your faith be strong
Though the night is long
For the dawn shall surely come.
Let your love hold on
'Til your dreams are born
To greet the morning sun.

Chorus 3
And the Phoenix shall rise from the ashes of the night
And sail into the waiting sky,
And the long promised dawn shall shed its golden light
Upon the hills of Palestine.
So let your faith be strong
Though the night is long
The dawn shall surely come
Oh Palestine
