Lyrics:

Every time I think of you Every day I long for you Anticipation grows for you to come 2000 years is way too long For me to hear your holy song And your roots - returning back - to where they started from

The world is crashing down all around Your dream is here, you’re homeward bound It’s the call of our historic destiny

A place that welcomes young and old Fulfilling words so long foretold Yisrael belongs to us eternally

Ancient roads call out your name My holy places do the same It’s clear the time is now to come back to your land My olive trees and beaches white Reminding you, our futures bright In Israel, United we’ll stand

Jewish Nation, come back home You are no longer on your own Living life as strangers in a strange land’s not for you Pack your bags and board your flight For Aliyah the moments right The time has come, your heart knows it’s true

We are living in extremely scary and unprecedented times. Corona, financial instability, anti-semitism, and civil unrest. The signs are clearly written on the wall for all to see that it is time for the Jewish People to return home.

As was the case with every exile in history, it’s time will come to a close and this one is no different. We hope and pray that our people make the move while they can do so freely and comfortably and that their transition to their new and everlasting home will be rooted in the fundamentals of what it means to live in our homeland and fulfill our national destiny.

May this song help bring some inspiration to all those who hear it to help them take the next step to Aliyah.
