00:05.040 --> 00:12.880
I go back to old Jerusalem and the man who
ran that store He was cheating all

00:12.880 --> 00:18.760
non-Arabs who would come inside his door I
felt the malice and the hatred,

00:19.280 --> 00:27.900
the sick joy in what he did And in disgust
I turned and quickly walked away I'd seen

00:27.900 --> 00:37.720
it in his eyes, heard it in his voice The
hatred that would wreak itself on me But

00:37.720 --> 00:49.720
today I cannot turn and walk away He's
here to stay I go back to old Jerusalem

00:49.720 --> 00:57.520
and another Arab man Who spoke with keen
intelligence of the history of the land

00:57.520 --> 01:04.580
With wisdom in his words and ways and
kindness in his hands And I wished that I

01:04.580 --> 01:14.700
had had more time to stay I saw it in his
eyes, heard it in his voice The gentleness

01:14.700 --> 01:24.720
that started from the soul Now I wish that
I could hear what he would say to me today

01:29.040 --> 01:35.320
Maybe he'd explain the rage that drives
the hearts and minds Of the ones who've

01:35.320 --> 01:41.980
charged their consciences to rejoice in
fratricide Maybe he'd explain just what

01:41.980 --> 01:49.940
would make so many choose They took their
brothers with them screaming into hell To

01:49.940 --> 01:55.300
believe that they were really doing well

01:59.540 --> 02:07.480
Now back in old Jerusalem, there's just an
empty store And the blindness of jihad now

02:07.480 --> 02:14.420
runs red rivers out the door So I cry to
God for wisdom that will stop this flow of

02:14.420 --> 02:21.000
blood And for courage and compassion,
let's stand high against the flood I've

02:21.000 --> 02:27.880
seen it in Jerusalem, you've seen it on
the screen So many filled with hatred,

02:28.360 --> 02:37.040
lies and fear And today we can't forget
and walk away We've got to pray

02:40.660 --> 02:53.240
No time left to walk or even look away
We've got to pray I said no time left to

02:53.240 --> 02:57.720
walk or even look away We've got to pray
